Abstract
A mechanism is provided for authenticating a second terminal based on information sensed by a first terminal. Responsive to receiving an authentication request, a first output request is sent to a second terminal instructing the second terminal to generate information able to be sensed by a sensor in a first terminal. An authentication of the authentication request is performed based on a condition that the sensor in the first terminal has sensed the information generated by the second terminal.
