Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: at least one device; a first processor configured to control the at least one device; a second processor configured to verify validity of a program to be executed by the first processor, and to allow the first processor to execute the program when the program is determined to be valid; and a control circuit configured to control supply of power to the at least one device. The second processor starts the verification of the program in response to the information processing apparatus being powered on. The first processor starts the execution of the program at least based on a first control signal indicating that the program is determined to be valid. The control circuit starts the supply of the power to the at least one device before the determination that the program is valid.
