Information processing apparatus and unauthorized access prevention method

An access control method executed by an information processing apparatus including a first node and a second node, the first node including a first processor, the second node being coupled with the first node via an interconnect and including a shared memory and a determining unit configured to determine an access permission to the shared memory, the access control method comprising:

• transmitting, using the first processor, a request for requesting an access to the shared memory, by attaching address information of the shared memory and first identification information;
• determining, using the determining unit, whether or not an access to the shared memory is permitted based on second identification information and the first identification information that is included in the request transmitted from the first node, the second identification information corresponding to the shared memory and being set in advance;
• and
• writing, using the first processor that includes a cache memory retaining data obtained from the shared memory, the data retained by the cache memory back to the shared memory in the second node when the determining unit in the second node rejects an access of the request for transferring data from the shared memory to the cache memory.
