An information processing system is provided that includes a server, a communication terminal, and a peripheral device. The peripheral device includes a secure storage section with a secure region. The secure region is accessible by internal component of the peripheral device. Certificate data is read out from the secure region and transmitted to the server. The server performs authentication, on the basis of the certificate data, regarding whether the peripheral device is a peripheral device whose connection to the communication terminal is permissible. In response to authentication of the peripheral device, execution of a process that involves transmission and reception of encrypted data is permitted between the peripheral device and the communication terminal.
