Abstract

A region to store authentication commands to perform authentication between a data carrier and a reader/writer device is divided into at least three areas, and as for the three areas, a first authentication command is stored in a first area, a second authentication command is stored in a second area, and a third authentication command is stored in a third area, and security levels can be selected depending on a command of an inquiry signal (41) transmitted from a reader/writer device (10), and thereby selection of the security level suitable for circumstances can be realized by a simple constitution.
