Abstract
The present invention allows even small-size verification devices to authenticate rights and qualifications without leaking authentication characteristic information to third parties. A ticket issuance device computes document private information &mgr; from a private function f of an interaction device owned by a user and document m to be transferred to the interaction device when generating interaction, and issues ticket t generated from authentication characteristic information x and the document private information &mgr; to the user. The interaction device, when document m is input, generates document private information &mgr; using a private function f specific to the interaction device, and performs interaction based on the document private information. The interaction comprises output of commitment r, input of challenge &khgr;, output of response &sgr;, and message M output. The user converts interaction (r, &khgr;, M, &sgr;) into interaction (r, &khgr;, M, s) using ticket t to perform Guillou-Quisquater authentication.
