Abstract:
An MFP stores a plurality of different pieces of biometric information of a user and a plurality of secret keys respectively corresponding to the pieces of biometric information in the TPM and registers public keys corresponding to the private keys in a server. When an authentication request is received from the server, the MFP executes a biometric authentication process using the biometric information input from the user and the biometric information registered in the TPM. If authentication is successful in the biometric authentication process, the MFP creates signature data and transmits it to the server. If verification of the signature data using the public key in the server is successful, the MFP performs display related to a shortcut process associates with the biometric information corresponding to the secret key used when the signature data that is a target of the verification is created by an input and output device.

Claim (Index 8):
A method in a system comprising:\n an information processing apparatus including;\n an authentication module for biometric authentication, \n a storage unit having tamper resistance for storing biometric information of a user necessary for performing an authentication process by the authentication module and a secret key created when the biometric information is registered, \n a biometric information sensor for reading the biometric information of the user, and \n a display; and \n a server configured to manage a public key corresponding to the secret key, and configured to be connected to the information processing apparatus through a network, the method comprising: storing a plurality of different pieces of biometric information of the user and a plurality of secret keys respectively corresponding to the pieces of biometric information in the storage unit to register the public keys corresponding to the plurality of secret keys in the server, by the information processing apparatus; executing a biometric authentication process by the authentication module using the biometric information input from the user through the biometric information sensor and the biometric information registered in the storage unit, by the information processing apparatus, in a case where an authentication request is received from the server; creating signature data using the secret key corresponding to the biometric information used in the biometric authentication process registered in the storage unit and a parameter included in the authentication request, by the information processing apparatus, in a case where the authentication is successful in the biometric authentication process; transmitting the created signature data to the server, by the information processing apparatus; and performing verification of the signature data transmitted from the information processing apparatus using the public key managed by the server, based on the authentication request, by the server; and making the display perform displaying related to execution of a process associated with the biometric information corresponding to the secret key used when the signature data that is a target of the verification is created in a case where the verification by the server is successful, by the information processing apparatus.
