Abstract
A radio communication apparatus for performing the authentication processing with another apparatus via radio communication, comprises an antenna section composed to be detachably fitted to the apparatus, a connection section for detecting the detachment of the antenna section, and a control section for performing the authentication processing upon the detection of detachment of the antenna section by the connection section. Electric wave release and reception efficiency can be attenuated considerably, and the authentication information is prevented from arriving at an unspecified other party, as the control section passes to the authentication processing in connection with the detachment of the antenna section from the apparatus, and the antenna section is already detached when the authentication processing starts.
