Abstract
An authentication apparatus transmits code and challenge to a target, receives a response, and authenticates the target based on the response. The target receives the code and the challenge, generates a password for comparison by executing n times of repetitive computation by a recurrence relation or a recursive function using the code as an initial input, executes password authentication using a pre-stored password and the password for comparison. If the password authentication has succeeded, the target reads out an authentication seed corresponding to the number n that is the number of times of execution of the repetitive computation with which the password for comparison that matches a password has been obtained, and generates the response using the read-out authentication seed and the challenge received from the authentication apparatus, and transmits the response.
