Abstract: A registration part receives a product key of a program for performing a communication using a private key and a public key, and discrimination information of a computer using the program. The registration part registers in a management part, when an authentication of a license corresponding to the product key is completed in success, correspondence information between the product key and the discrimination information and other discrimination information regarding the correspondence information. A discrimination information sending part returns the other discrimination information to an electronic certificate issue apparatus. A checking part receives the other discrimination information and check whether the other discrimination information is registered in the management part.

Abstract: An information processing device is arranged to acquire a first public key certificate and a first secret key from a server device by acquiring an individual identification information which is uniquely discriminable for the information processing device from the information processing device and transmitting the individual identification information to the server device. The information processing device is arranged to determine whether the information processing device is permitted to transmit device information to the server device through an encryption communication using the first public key certificate and the first secret key, by acquiring the individual identification information from the information processing device and comparing the acquired individual identification information with the individual identification information associated with at least one of the first public key certificate and the first secret key.

Abstract: A communication apparatus performs specific operation before turning off the power of the communication apparatus. When a request for communication task is detected, the communication apparatus determines whether execution of the communication task can be extended at a later time. When execution of the communication task can be extended, the communication apparatus extends execution of the communication task to a later time. When an instruction for turning off the power of the communication apparatus is received, the communication apparatus executes the requested communication task while performing the specific operation.
