A wireless communication system includes a plurality of terminals connected via at least one wireless network. Each of the plurality of terminals identifies a wireless network to which the terminal is to be connected by using a group identifier including a terminal identifier of an issuing terminal that issues an attribute certificate and a first identifier that is set for the issuing terminal.

What is claimed is: 1. A first terminal, comprising: a memory storing a first ID identifying a first wireless network group to which the first terminal is connected; a beacon generator for generating a first beacon indicating the first ID and operation mode information of the first terminal; a transmitter for transmitting the first beacon; a receiver for receiving a second beacon from the second terminal, the second beacon indicating a second ID identifying a second wireless network group to which the second terminal is connected, and operation mode information of the second terminal; and a registration processor configured to: determine, based on the operation mode information of the first and second terminals, whether the first terminal enters a registration operation mode before the second terminal enters the registration operation mode; when it is determined that the first terminal enters the registration operation mode before the second terminal enters the registration operation mode, transmit to the second terminal an attribute certificate for joining the first wireless network group; and when it is determined that the second terminal enters the registration mode before the first terminal enters the registration mode, transmit to the second terminal a request for registration on the second wireless network group. 2. The first terminal according to claim 1, wherein the registration processor is further configured to: determine whether the second terminal is within a distance range of the first terminal; and transmit the attribute certificate for joining the first network to the second terminal only when the second terminal is determined to be within the distance range of the first terminal. 3. The first terminal according to claim 1, wherein the registration processor is further configured to: determine whether the second terminal is within a distance range of the first terminal; and transmit the registration request to the second terminal only when the second terminal is determined to be within the distance range of the first terminal. 4. The first terminal according to claim 3, wherein the registration request includes information indicating whether the first terminal has an attribute certificate issued by the second terminal for accessing the second wireless network group. 5. The first terminal according to claim 3, further comprising a counter that increments when a registration acknowledgment is received from the second terminal. 6. The first terminal according to claim 1, further comprising: an input device for receiving an instruction to disconnect from a wireless network; and resetting means for resetting the wireless network group ID stored in memory when the instruction to disconnect is received. 7. The first terminal according to claim 6, wherein the input device includes a button. 8. A computer-implemented method for connecting a first terminal to second terminal, comprising: storing in memory a first ID of a first wireless network group to which the first terminal is connected; generating a first beacon indicating the first ID and operation mode information of the first terminal; transmitting the first beacon; receiving a second beacon from the second terminal, the second beacon indicating a second ID identifying a second wireless network group to which the second terminal is connected, and operation mode information of the second terminal; determining, based on the operation mode information of the first and second terminals, whether the first terminal enters a registration operation mode before the second terminal enters the registration operation mode; when it is determined that the first terminal enters the registration operation mode before the second terminal enters the registration operation mode, transmitting to the second terminal an attribute certificate for joining the first wireless network group; and when it is determined that the second terminal enters the registration mode before the first terminal enters the registration mode, transmit to the second terminal a request for registration on the second wireless network group. 9. A computer-readable storage medium storing a program which, when executed by a first terminal, causes the first terminal to perform a method for connecting to a second terminal, the method comprising: storing in memory a first ID of the first wireless network group to which the first terminal is connected; generating a first beacon indicating the first ID and operation mode information of the first terminal; transmitting the first beacon; receiving a second beacon from the second terminal, the second beacon indicating a second ID identifying a second wireless network group to which the second terminal is connected, and operation mode information of the second terminal; determining, based on the operation mode information of the first and second terminals, whether the first terminal enters a registration operation mode before the second terminal enters the registration operation mode; when it is determined that the first terminal enters the registration operation mode before the second terminal enters the registration operation mode, transmitting to the second terminal an attribute certificate for joining the first wireless network group; and when it is determined that the second terminal enters the registration mode before the first terminal enters the registration mode, transmit to the second terminal a request for registration on the second wireless network group. 10. A first communication terminal configured to connect to a second communication terminal, comprising: a memory storing: a list of certificates granting access to different wireless network groups, corresponding IDs of trusted issuing terminals that issue the certificates for accessing the different wireless network groups, and an ID of a wireless network group to which the first terminal is connected; a communication unit for receiving a beacon from the second terminal, the beacon indicating an ID of a wireless network group to which the second terminal is connected; and a processor for: retrieving, from the list of certificates based on the wireless network group ID indicated in the beacon, a corresponding ID of a trusted issuing terminal that issues certificates for accessing the wireless network group to which the second terminal is connected; determining whether the stored ID of the wireless network group to which the first terminal is connected corresponds to the retrieved ID of the trusted issuing terminal; and based on whether it is determined that the stored ID of the wireless network group to which the first terminal is connected corresponds to the retrieved ID of the trusted issuing terminal, performing an authentication process with the first second terminal.
