ABSTRACT:
A wireless-communication device performing mutual authentication between the wireless-communication device and a different wireless-communication device by using an authentication server includes a communication-setting-data-retention unit retaining communication-setting data including a first metric corresponding to the path to the authentication server, as a self-authentication-server metric, a signal-reception unit receiving a predetermined signal transmitted from the different wireless-communication device, the predetermined signal including a second metric corresponding to the path from the different wireless-communication device to the authentication server, as a nonself-authentication-server metric, and a control unit determining the wireless-communication device to be a supplicant when the self-authentication-server metric is better than the nonself-authentication-server metric, and determining the wireless-communication device to be an authenticator when the self-authentication-server metric is worse than the nonself-authentication-server metric.
