First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus,wherein the information processing apparatus has as operation mode, an installation processing mode and a product operation mode, the installation processing mode being a mode in which conversion information required for boot-up of the product operation mode is generated by converting predetermined information, and the product operation mode being a mode in which the information processing apparatus is booted up using the conversion information,wherein the information processing apparatus comprises:
- a storage device for storing the predetermined information;
a reading section for reading out the predetermined information from the storage device;
a conversion section for converting the predetermined information to generate the conversion information;
a writing section for writing the conversion information generated by the conversion section into the storage device;
a boot-up section for booting up the information processing apparatus using the conversion information stored in the storage device; and
a mode control section for making the reading section, the writing section and the conversion section work when the information processing apparatus in the installation processing mode is powered on, while making the boot-up section work when the information processing apparatus in the product operation mode is powered on.

Abstract
An development environment of a high security level is provided for a key-installed system. Development of a program for a system having an LSI device which includes a secure memory is performed by providing another LSI device having the same structure and setting the provided LSI device to a development mode which is different from a product operation mode. Alternatively, the provided LSI device is set to an administrator mode to perform development and encryption of a key-generation program. The LSI device is set to a key-generation mode to execute the encrypted key-generation program, thereby generating various keys.
