CodiP2P is a distributed platform for computation based on the peer-topeer
paradigm. This article presents a novel distributed authentication method that
suits the platform and adapts to its characteristics. The developed method is based
on the Web of Trust paradigm, i.e., not depending on a traditional PKI infrastructure,
and focuses on efficiency both in the number of messages transmitted and digital
signatures processed by exploiting the inherent locality found in the platform. As part
of the method, a reliable and efficient distributed public key repository is developed
taking CoDiP2P’s de Bruijn topology as a cornerstone.
