Abstract(in English) We propose an algorithm for the gathering problem of mobile agents in Byzantine environments. The proposed algorithm can make all correct agents to meet at a single node in $O(fm)$ time ($m$ is the number of edges) under the assumption that each agent has unique ID and behaves synchronously, each node is equipped with an authenticated whiteboard, and at most $f$ Byzantine agents exist. Since the existing algorithm achieves gathering without a whiteboard in $tilde O(n^9lambda)$ time, where $n$ is the number of nodes and $lambda$ is the length of the longest ID, our algorithm shows a whiteboard can significantly reduce the time for the gathering problem in Byzantine environments.
