In a distributed digital signature generation method, the method includes
the steps of: generating partial signature keys by distributed processes,
generating partial digital signatures by using the partial signature keys
for the hash value of an input digital document to which additional
information such as time is added, combining a predetermined threshold
number of partial digital signatures, performing a transformation process
on the partial digital signatures according to the combination, and
generating an integrated digital signature from the result of the
transformation process, in which a least common multiple of predetermined
values is used as a transformation number, and it is judged whether an
incorrect partial digital signature exists and the number is one, and the
incorrect partial digital signature is identified when the number is one.
