Information processing apparatus, program, storage medium and information processing system

A program for causing a computer to function as:

• a reception unit that receives a request for access to an IC chip from an application having an access right information for accessing to the IC chip;
• an acquisition unit that acquires an authentication information for authenticating the application from an external server based on the access right information contained in the request for access received by the reception unit;
• an authentication unit that authenticates the application based on the authentication information obtained by the acquisition unit;
• and
• a control unit that controls an access of the application to the IC chip based on an authentication result by the authentication unit.
