Abstract
In an authentication system for companies, a server appends suitable verification data to an electronic document to be circulated through terminal units for persons in charge. Each terminal is allocated a unique function in advance and applies it to the verification data in turn when receiving the document. Upon receipt of the document that has been circulated through the persons in charge, the server examines the function-applied value appended to the document to determine whether the document has been circulated correctly through the persons in charge, or via the correct route.
