Abstract
To provide a mechanism which safely generates a signature even when the reliability of a local terminal is unknown, this invention makes it possible to safely notify a user whether a remote server can trust the local terminal. The mechanism includes a reception acceptance unit adapted to accept a generation request for a digital signature from a user terminal, a terminal authentication unit which authenticates the user terminal, a user authentication unit which authenticates a user who has transmitted the generation request via the user terminal, and a notification unit which notifies the user terminal of an answer to the generation request, on the basis of the authentication results from the terminal authentication unit and user authentication unit
