determine, based on information on a service to be authenticated from the plurality of services indicated in the authentication information, a usage type corresponding to the service to be authenticated;
select an authentication type, from among the plurality of authentication types stored in the memory, corresponding to the usage type, wherein the authentication type is selected so that, for the usage type, a predetermined level of authentication is selected according to the service to be authenticated;
perform, using a moving image including a face portion of the user and a voice of the user, an authentication process for the user based on the authentication type; and
output a result of the authentication process, wherein
to perform the authentication process, the processing circuitry is configured to perform dynamic biometric authentication including:
a face authentication process to authenticate the user based on a face image of the user included in the moving image,
a voice authentication process to authenticate the user based on voice information of the voice of the user included in the moving image, and
a lip authentication process to authenticate whether movement of a lip of the user included in the moving image matches a keyword indicated by a voice of the user included in the moving image.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the face authentication process includes collating the face image of the user included in the moving image with a face image included in the authentication information.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the authentication information is information on a certificate including a face image of the user and issued by a public institution.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the voice authentication process includes collating attribute information on the user indicated by a voice uttered by the user with attribute information included in the authentication information.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the voice authentication process includes collating a keyword indicated by a voice uttered by the user with a predetermined keyword that the user has been previously requested to utter.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the voice authentication process includes collating voiceprint information of the user included in a voice uttered by the user with voiceprint information included in the authentication information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The authentication system according to claim 1, further comprising a management device, wherein
the management device includes the processing circuitry, and
the management device is configured to communicate with a mobile terminal possessed by the user.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The authentication system according to claim 1, wherein the processing circuitry instructs a mobile terminal of the user to execute the authentication process.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)
