Abstract. Consider an oriented graph G=(V,A), a subset C of vertices, and an integer r greater than or equal to 1; for any vertex v in V, let B-r(v) denote the set of all vertices x such that there exists a path from x to v with at most r arcs. If for all vertices v in V, the sets B-r(v) $\cap$ C are all nonempty and different, then we call C an r-identifying code.
We describe a linear algorithm which gives a minimum 1-identifying code in an oriented tree.
