Abstract
In a device registration system, user authentication and device authentication of a CE device are executed in a single session, and the user and the CE device are associated with each other if these authentications succeed. The CE device obtains information for user authentication from an IC card and portable memory, and sends the information and device authentication information to a device registration unit. The device registration unit sends the information for the user authentication to a user authentication unit, and the device authentication information to a device authentication unit. The user authentication unit executes a user authentication process and sends information of the user to the device registration unit if authentication succeeds. The device authentication unit executes a device authentication process and sends information of the device to the device registration unit if authentication succeeds. The device registration unit associates user information and device information with each other.
