Authentication in mobile-agent system: D'Agents

D'Agents: Security in a Multiple-Language, Mobile-Agent System

Mobile-agent systems must address three security issues: protecting an individual machine, protecting a group of machines, and protecting an agent. In this chapter, we discuss these three issues in the context of D’Agents, a mobile-agent system whose agents can be written in Tcl, Java and Scheme. (D’Agents was formerly known as Agent Tcl.) First we discuss mechanisms existing in D’Agents for pr...

MHIDCA: Multi Level Hybrid Intrusion Detection and Continuous Authentication for MANET Security

Mobile ad-hoc networks have attracted a great deal of attentions over the past few years. Considering their applications, the security issue has a great significance in them. Security scheme utilization that includes prevention and detection has the worth of consideration. In this paper, a method is presented that includes a multi-level security scheme to identify intrusion by sensors and authe...

D'Agents: Applications and performance of a mobile-agent system

D’Agents is a general-purpose mobile-agent system that has been used in several informationretrieval applications. In this paper, we first examine one such application, operational support for military field personnel, where D’Agents greatly simplifies the task of providing efficient, applicationspecific access to remote information resources. After describing the application, we discuss the ke...

A Formal Petri Net Based Model for Antivirus Update Agent System

In this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition Petri nets. The mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called DCA and UNA. It sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. Each agent takes on a specified responsibility. First, DCA roams through the network and check the last d...
