In this information processing system including a server, a communication terminal communicable with the server via the Internet, and a peripheral device capable of performing short-range wireless communication with the communication terminal, the peripheral device transmits, to the server, device identification information which is information capable of uniquely identifying the peripheral device. On the basis of the transmitted device identification information, the server determines whether the peripheral device is a peripheral device whose connection to the communication terminal is permissible, and when such connection is permissible, the server transmits connection permission information indicating that the connection to the communication terminal is permitted. Then, the peripheral device executes a setting process for enabling the connection to the communication terminal on the basis of the connection permission information.

Information processing system, peripheral device, wireless communication chip, computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having application program stored therein, and information processing method

This first communication section transmits, to an authentication server, an encryption key, identification information capable of uniquely identifying a peripheral device, and signature information of the identification information. A second communication section receives data based on an authentication process performed in the authentication server on the basis of the identification information and the signature information transmitted by the first communication section, then, encrypts second data transmission request information, and transmits the encrypted request information to the authentication server. A third communication section receives second data which is encrypted and transmitted from the authentication server in response to the request information transmitted by the second communication section, then decrypts the second data, and transmits the decrypted second data to the authentication server. A communication process execution section receives third data based on a result indicating that authenticity of the second data transmitted by the third communication section has been confirmed in the authentication server, and then, performs encrypted communication with the predetermined communication device.

Peripheral device, wireless communication chip, computer-readable non-transitory storage medium having application program stored therein, information processing system, and information processing method

An information processing system is provided that includes a server, a communication terminal, and a peripheral device. The peripheral device includes a secure storage section with a secure region. The secure region is accessible by internal component of the peripheral device. Certificate data is read out from the secure region and transmitted to the server. The server performs authentication, on the basis of the certificate data, regarding whether the peripheral device is a peripheral device whose connection to the communication terminal is permissible. In response to authentication of the peripheral device, execution of a process that involves transmission and reception of encrypted data is permitted between the peripheral device and the communication terminal.
