A communication device, a communication system and an authentication
system for preventing a disguising act by an illegal man-in-the-middle
and improving the safety and certainty of authentication processing are
provided. A slave (20) transmits an authentication request including
device information to a master (10). The master (10) receives the
authentication request and displays the device information included in
the authentication request on a screen of a display section (13). The
user visually checks the device information displayed on the screen of
the display section 13 (13), determines whether or not to verify the
authentication, and instructs the master (10) of the determination result
via an input section (14). The master (10), instructed to verify or not
to verify the authentication, transmits a response in accordance with the
instruction to the slave (20).
