Abstract
An information processing apparatus, an authentication processing method, and computer program provided. The present invention includes an interface for carrying out data transfer processing, and a data processor for executing data processing. The data processor executes authentication processing with a target of data transfer as a condition of executing data processing accompanying data transfer via the interface. In the authentication processing, the data processor verifies channel type applied in data transfer based on data stored in a public key certificate held by an authentication counterpart, and determines whether or not it is possible to establish authentication based on the channel type.
