正解 The unauthorized access act prohibited by the Unauthorized Access Prohibition Act refers to bypassing an access control function—for example by entering another person's identification code (ID, password, etc.) without permission—and thereby making usable, over a network, computer functions that one is not originally entitled to use. For this act to be established, the target computer must satisfy both conditions: being connected to a network (a telecommunications line) and being equipped with an access control function. In the table, the only computer for which both are “Yes” is Computer a, so the one that can be a target of an unauthorized access act is Computer a, and the correct answer is ア.
Computer b has a network connection (“Yes”) but no access control function (“No”). Since there is no access control to bypass in the first place, it cannot be a target of an unauthorized access act, which consists of bypassing an access control function.
Computer c has an access control function (“Yes”) but no network connection (“No”). An unauthorized access act is required to be carried out over a network (a telecommunications line), so a computer that is not connected to a network is out of scope.
Computer d has neither a network connection nor an access control function (both “No”). Since it lacks both requirements, it cannot be a target of an unauthorized access act.
