In a system (e.g., debit card) where a PIN is entered as verification, the PIN
and biometric information, which is free of being stolen or faked, are combined
to realize secure user verification. The leakage and the theft of a PIN is reliably
prevented, thereby realizing a high security ability. To-be-verified biometric
feature data is transmitted from first transceiving interface (205) of data
processing device (200) to portable electronic device (300). Biometric
feature data verifying section (306) of portable electronic device (300)
compares the to-be-verified biometric feature data, which has been received by
second transceiving interface (301), with valid biometric feature data.
If a predetermined matching condition between the to-be-verified biometric feature
data and the valid biometric feature data is satisfied, a PIN stored in portable
electronic device (300) is transmitted from second transceiving interface
(301) to management device (400) via first transceiving interface
(205) of data processing device (200).
