Patent attributes
An attribute information setting section loads information indicating whether or not access to each of a plurality of files is allowed, into a memory. A readout request receiving section receives a readout request including a file path from a program. A hash value deriving section derives a hash value of a file path included in the readout request. A file confirming section confirms whether or not the derived hash value matches with one of hash values of the files included in software. A determining section refers to the information loaded into the memory by the attribute information setting section in a case in which matching of the hash values is confirmed, to thereby determine whether or not a process on the file which has been subjected to the readout request is executable.
