      A self-stabilizing algorithm is proposed for assigning distinct and ordered identities to the processors on synchronous rings of prime size. Since there is no deterministic algorithm that can break symmetry, the proposed algorithm is a randomized one. It is shown that with probability one, the randomized algorithm makes each processor in the system have a unique identity.
