Abstract

An authentication system for authenticating an authentication-target apparatus by transmitting challenge data from an authenticating apparatus to the authentication-target apparatus and transmitting response data from the authentication-target apparatus to the authenticating apparatus. The authentication-target apparatus updates ae secret key and an encrypted original key stored in a memory using a new secret key and a new encrypted original key, derives an authentication key based on an original key, and generates the response data based on a challenge data received from the authenticating apparatus and the authentication key. The authentication apparatus derives an authentication key based on identification information of the authentication-target apparatus and an authentication original key, generates response data for verification based on the challenge data and the authentication key, and obtains an authentication result.
