Abstract
According to one embodiment, a multimedia processing apparatus includes one or more first module, a second module, and a third module. The first module is configured to realize a function involved with a multimedia processing. The second module is configured to manage the first module. The third module is configured to control the first module or to perform a state transition of the first module through the second module. One of two modules out of the first to third modules holds a certificate that provides its personal identification. When a first processing is executed between the two modules, the other one of the two modules authenticates the one module by using the certificate held by the one module, and then, the two modules start the first processing.
