ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor memory card comprising a control IC302, a flash memory303, and a ROM304. The ROM304holds information such as a medium ID341unique to the semiconductor memory card. The flash memory303includes an authentication memory332and a non-authentication memory331. The authentication memory332can be accessed only by external devices which have been affirmatively authenticated. The non-authentication memory331can be accessed by external devices whether or not the external devices have been affirmatively authenticated or not. The control IC302includes control units325and326, an authentication unit321and the like. The control units325and326control accesses to the authentication memory332and the non-authentication memory331, respectively. The authentication unit321executes a mutual authentication with an external device.
