Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes a first verification unit configured to perform hardware verification of the hardware by using a hardware verification unit, and if the hardware verification is successful, performs a software verification of software stored in a storage unit. If both verifications are successful and a particular function is executed, a second verification unit performs software verification of a program stored in the storage unit. And, if one or both of the verifications is unsuccessful, a restriction unit restricts use of the information processing apparatus.
