To make customer check promptly and properly in response to a request for purchase of a 3app developed by a 3party using an application store operated in a foreign country. A management servermanages online store sale for making only an application stored in an app DBand registered for online store sale available for purchase. The management servercomprises: an ordering processing unitthat judges whether the requested application to be purchased from a user is a 3app developed by a 3party; and a sales approval processing unit. If the application requested to be purchased is the 3app, the sales approval processing unitnotifies the user of a state waiting for approval by the 3party, and gains approval of sale of the 3app by transmitting a notification to the 3party requesting customer check.

An application security management system and an edge server which enable an application developed by an application developer to be executed only in a state that matches a security risk reported by the developer are provided. In an application security management system, an evaluation management server that manages evaluation of an application developed by an application developer and executed by an edge server registers the application and an access report list related to the usability of a function of the edge device and/or the accessibility of processing data of the edge device after evaluation in an application DB. A distribution management server system that manages distribution of the evaluated application notifies a user who issued a purchase request of the access report list upon receiving the purchase request for the application and distributes the application and the access report list to the edge server when authorization data is received only.

Application security management system and edge server

An edge server includes: an application execution management unit that manages execution of an application that uses a function of an edge device and/or access processing data of the edge device; a skill information acquisition unit that acquires skill information of a user who is authorized to log into a system including the edge server; and an access control unit determines whether the user has an access right to use the function of the edge device and/or access the processing data of the edge device on the basis of the skill information of the user and a skill-based access list for the use of the function of the edge device and the access to the processing data of the edge device and allows the access when it is determined that the user has the access right.
