Abstract;Here was proposed a certification mechanism for cooperative works of plural agents under network environments without guarantee of safety. Then, more than one secure node (oasis node) is required. The oasis node forms certification codes using random numbers and agent informations corresponding to numbers of certification objects, to carry out their dispersed distribution to the agents. The agents gather to an appointed oasis node, to receive verification by the oasis node through their dispersedly distributed random numbers and certification codes. The certification mechanism proposed in this paper is an open information without warry when its random numbers and certification nodes are stolen, but it is a method without open formation of their certification codes and algorithm of their verification. It is suitable for certification processing at adhoc cooperative works based on general public agents.
