The invention concerns a method whereby the proof is established by:
m(.gtoreq.1) pairs of private Q.sub.i and public G.sub.i=g.sub.i.sup.2
values; a public module n formed by the product of f(.gtoreq.2) prime
factors; an exponent v=2.sup.k(k>1), linked by the relationships of
the type: G.sub.i-Q.sub.i.sup.v.ident.1. mod n or
G.sub.i.ident.Q.sub.i.sup.v mod n. Among the m numbers obtained by
increasing Q.sub.i or its inverse modulo n to modulo n square, k-1 times
rank, at least one of them is different from .+-.g.sub.i. Among the 2m
equations: x.sup.2.ident.g.sub.i mod n, x.sup.2.ident.-g.sub.i mod n, at
least one of them has solutions in x in the ring of modulo n integers.
