Abstract: An authentication technology with far higher safety than the technology using a general one-time password is provided. A client and a server both have the function to sequentially generate the same solutions under the same condition, the solutions being series of characters, numbers, or signs. The client creates a first solution (S1002), encrypts authentication data, which is predetermined data, by using the solution to generate encrypted authentication data (S1003), and sends the encrypted authentication data to the server with identification information, which is a user ID (S1004). The server receives them (S2001), generates a solution (S2002), and encrypts authentication data shared with the client into encrypted authentication data by using the solution (S2003). When the encrypted authentication data generated by the server matches the encrypted authentication data sent from the client, the server authenticates the client to be valid.

Abstract: To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program.

Abstract: Communication resources are appropriately used. An information processing device is an information processing device including an acquisition unit and a control unit. Here, the acquisition unit acquires a relative priority of each information processing device in a network built through autonomous wireless communication of a plurality of information processing devices. In addition, the control unit performs control such that a communication resource of the network is allocated based on the priority (a relative priority of each information processing device in the network) acquired by the acquisition unit.

Abstract: A technique of encrypted communications is proposed to provide stronger defense against an attack from a third party, in particular, an MITMA than in SSL communications. A client and a server each have the function of generating the same solution under the same conditions. The client generates a first solution (S1002) and transmits the solution to the server (S1003). When receiving the solution, the server generates a solution (S2002) and authenticates the client if the solution agrees with the solution received from the client (S2003). The server encrypts the common key of the server by using a second solution as a key (S2005) and transmits the common key to the client. The client generates a second solution and decrypts the encrypted common key by using the solution as a key (S1007). The server and the client perform encrypted communications with the shared common key in a common key system.

Abstract: A settlement system with higher security which replaces a settlement system using credit cards is provided. The settlement system has a user terminal, a settlement device, and a settlement terminal. First, a user ID, a password, and upper limit amount information identifying an amount are inputted in a user terminal 100 (S912), and sent to the settlement device (S913). The settlement device performs credit determination (S922), generates temporary permission information if credit is possible (S923), and sends the temporary permission information to the user terminal (S924). The user terminal generates a one-time password (S915). The one-time password is inputted to the settlement terminal (S931). If the one-time password sent from the settlement terminal to the settlement device is identical to the one-time password created in the settlement device, the settlement device allows a user's payment (S928).
