Abstract

Responsive to a proxy authentication request from a network terminal, a display for prompting a user to start an authentication operation is performed; authentication data for performing personal authentication are read by a user operation; an authentication request is sent together with the read authentication data to an authentication server; an authentication result is received from the authentication server; the network terminal is notified of the result. When a service requiring personal authentication is used, via a network, a request for proxy authentication can be made from a network terminal lacking an interface for personal authentication to a proxy authentication terminal having an interface for personal authentication, whereby the interface of the proxy authentication terminal can be used to perform the personal authentication.
