Abstract
The authors consider the problem of secure communication in a network for which the trust-graph (with vertices of the processors and edges c orresponding to authentication channels) is unknown to all but one non -faulty processor. It is shown that secure communication is obtained i f the trust-graph is sufficiently connected.
