1. An information processing system, comprising:
- interface circuitry configured to;
receive message-dependent information from a first external device, based on reception of message-independent information by the first external device from a second external device;
send the received message-dependent information to the second external device; and
receive a digital signature from the second external device,wherein the digital signature is generated by the second external device based on reception of a first message by the second external device from a third external device, andwherein the first message is received by the second external device based on a request to receive the first message, that is transmitted from the second external device to the third external device,wherein the message-independent information is used in generation of the digital signature, andwherein the second external device is configured to delete the message-independent information based on the generation of the digital signature for a determined number of times, wherein the determined number of times is greater than one; and
processing circuitry configured to;
send a second message to the first external device based on a request to receive the second message, sent by the first external device,wherein the message-dependent information is generated by the first external device based on the received second message; and
associate the received digital signature with the second message.
