a verification unit configured to verify validity of the verification target device based on a response to the authentication information and second information acquired from the information processing device, the second information being associated with the first information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the first information and the second information each have a limitation on at least one of a number and a period of usage.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The communication terminal according to claim 2, wherein the first information and the second information are recorded on a non-tamper-resistant recording medium.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The communication terminal according to claim 2, wherein the first information and the second information are recorded on a tamper-resistant recording medium.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the first information is one or more random numbers and the second information is information associated with the one or more random numbers.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein the first information is information containing encryption information obtained by encryption of authentication basic information by use of a common key, and identification information of the common key, and the second information is encryption information obtained by encryption of information by use of the common key, the information being converted from the authentication basic information.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The communication terminal according to claim 1, wherein, when the verification unit verifies that the verification target device is authorized, the transmission controller allows the information processing device to transmit information for executing predetermined processing to the verification target device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The communication terminal according to claim 7, wherein, when the verification unit verifies that the verification target device is unauthorized, the transmission controller does not allow transmission of the information for executing predetermined processing to the verification target device.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The communication terminal according to claim 7, wherein, when the verification unit verifies that the verification target device is unauthorized, the transmission controller allows transmission of reporting information for reporting a verification result of the verification target device to an external device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The communication terminal according to claim 9, wherein the reporting information contains at least one of position information of the communication terminal, a life log, and an image captured by the communication terminal.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The communication terminal according to claim 7, further comprising:
a display unit configured to notify a user of the communication terminal about a verification result of the verification target device when the verification unit verifies that the verification target device is unauthorized.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The communication terminal according to claim 1,
wherein the verification target device is a relaying device configured to relay between the communication terminal and the information processing device,
wherein the verification target device and the communication terminal are configured to communicate with each other by use of a first session key,
wherein the information processing device and the verification target device are configured to communicate with each other by use of a second session key, and
wherein the first session key is different from the second session key.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The communication terminal according to claim 1,
wherein the verification target device and the communication terminal are configured to communicate with each other by use of a first session key,
wherein the information processing device and the verification target device are configured to communicate with each other by use of a second session key, and
