Abstract

A determination apparatus according to an embodiment includes a receiving unit, an acquisition unit, and a determination unit. The receiving unit receives a request for authentication of identity of a user who uses a terminal device. The acquisition unit acquires context information that is information indicating a context of the terminal device. The determination unit performs determination related to authentication requested by the terminal device, on the basis of the context information acquired by the acquisition unit. For example, the determination unit determines whether an authentication procedure for an authentication request received by the receiving unit is needed on the basis of a change between context information that is acquired upon reception of an authentication request by the receiving unit and context information that has been acquired upon reception of a past authentication request.
