INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF DETECTING FALSIFICATION IN PROGRAMS, AND FALSIFICATION DETECTING METHOD

摘要

An information processing apparatus includes a first storage portion, a connection portion, and a detection processing portion. The first storage portion stores a first decryption key used to decrypt a first electronic signature, wherein the first electronic signature and a second electronic signature have been added to detection target programs that are expanded into a memory during a start-up of the information processing apparatus. The connection portion is configured to be connected with a second storage portion storing a second decryption key used to decrypt the second electronic signature. When the second storage portion is connected to the connection portion, the detection processing portion detects presence/absence of falsification in the detection target programs by using second decrypted data that is acquired by decrypting the second electronic signature by using the second decryption key.
