Positional information storage system and method, semiconductor memory, and program

A positional information storage system that stores and verifies positional information of a mobile terminal apparatus. The positional information storage system stores (i) the positional information, (ii) time information, and (iii) signature data that is generated by placing a digital signature on a combination of the time information and the positional information of the mobile terminal apparatus only if a user of the mobile terminal apparatus is successfully authenticated. The positional information storage system also verifies whether the signature data is authentic. With this construction, it is possible to authenticate a person carrying the mobile terminal apparatus, and to verify whether data to be stored in the memory has been tampered.
