Abstract
A biometric authentication device has a threat of an attack of pretending to be someone else by such as forgery. The present invention supports a service provider to appropriately decide the level of such threat.A vulnerability verification server 150 is provided in the system, and the vulnerability of each biometric product is centrally managed. A service provider 130 sends the information that specifies the device in which a client terminal 110 executes the biometric authentication to the vulnerability verification server 150, and receives the vulnerability information. The service provider 130 decides whether the service can be provided or not to the client terminal 110 using the vulnerability information that was received.
