Abstract:
Disclosed herein is an authentication system offering high degrees of security and convenience by use of two storage media. An automatic log-in system (100) requests a server (110) to perform a user authentication process using card-specific information (101) retrieved from an IC card (10) and password information (102) from a portable memory (11). The server (110) authenticates the user by acquiring a user ID and a password using the card-specific information (101) and password information (102). The card-specific information (101) and password information (102) constitute authentication request information, and the user ID and password make up authentication information. Following successful authentication of the user, the server (110) allows the user to log in; in case of unsuccessful authentication, the server (110) denies log-in.
Abstract:
An authentication system using two storage media and having a high security and convenience. An automatic log-in system (100) performs a user authentication request by using card unique information (101) stored on an IC card (10) and password information (102) stored in a mobile memory (11), thereby performing automatic log-in. By using the card unique information (101) and the password information (102), a server (110) acquires a user ID and a password and performs user authentication. In this case, the card unique information (101) and the password information (102) constitute authentication request information while the user ID and the password constitute authentication information. When the user authentication is successful, the server (110) performs log-in processing of the user. When the authentication is unsuccessful, no log-in processing is performed.
