Patent ID: 7994915

Claim:
An information processing system comprising: a first information processing apparatus and an authentication device comprising a second information processing apparatus, said first information processing apparatus comprising: a storage means which stores a first biological identification data associated with a predetermined portion of a subject's living body, and a first communication means for performing communication when held proximate to the predetermined portion of the subject's living body, said authentication device comprising: a biological sensor which detects biological information from the subject's living body; a second communication means connected to the second information processing apparatus and which communicates with the first communication means; said second information processing apparatus comprising: an extraction means which extracts a second biological identification data from the biological information detected by the biological sensor while the first communication means transmits the first biological identification data to the second communication means; and a biological authentication means which performs biological authentication, based on the second biological identification data and on the first biological identification data; a network connected to the second information processing apparatus; the authentication device connected to the network that performs mutual authentication between the first information processing apparatus and a management server using the second information processing apparatus connecting to a management server via the network, wherein, if mutual authentication between the first information processing apparatus and the management server is confirmed by the authentication device, the first information processing apparatus and the second information processing apparatus exchange information for encrypting and decrypting the first biological information.
