<p>I have an undirected, unweighted graph representing a network.
I have a starting node and an end one.
My 'network' is reliable if there is no node such that without that node s and t are not reachable i.e. no node is necessary and all nodes have at least one redundant path.</p>
<p>how can I formally verify this?
thank you</p>

An algorithm for determining biconnectivity is described <a href="http://garryowen.csisdmz.ul.ie/~cs4115/resources/lect24.pdf" rel="nofollow">here</a>, though I am sure there are plenty of other places.</p>
