<p>An information processing apparatus in which regions of different roles can be created separately. When an area definition region #0100h is created under an area definition region #0000h, by using a service key stored in a service definition region #0020h for area registration created in advance, information of the area definition region #0100h is encrypted and the encrypted information is provided to an IC card. The IC card to which such information is provided uses the service key stored in the service definition region #0020h for area registration so as to decrypt the encrypted information. And in accordance with the decryption result, the area definition region #0100h is created. The present invention can be applied to an IC card passing information in a non-contact manner and to an apparatus passing data with the IC card.</p> |
