• a storage configured to store the OS, a virtual device program capable of generating a virtual device executed based on the OS, and a plurality of programs;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• execute the virtual device program to generate the virtual device;
• and
• based on an attempt to access data about the virtual device by a first program among the plurality of programs, determine whether the first program has an administration authority assigned by the OS in the host execution environment;
• based on the determination that the first program has the administration authority, cause the OS to identify whether the first program comprises an authentication code which indicates that the first program is authorized to access the data about the generated virtual device;
• and
• based on the authentication code being identified to be comprised in the first program, permit access to the data about the virtual device.
