Security of Mobile Agents

چکیده

The Internet is continuously extending to mobile devices. This implies that applications should be tailored to make efficient use of the limited resources of such devices. Mobile agents are a promising solution for this purpose. However, secure protocols are required in order to assure confidentiality and integrity of the data such an agent collects. This paper describes 6 such security protocols presented in the scientific literature. These protocols are analyzed with respect to a series of security requirements that should be satisfied by such protocols. An overview of some published attacks on these protocols and the proposed solutions is also presented.

ارائه یک رویکرد همانند سازی شده عامل محور در اجرای یک الگوی کد متحرک مطمئن

Abstract Using mobile agents, it is possible to bring the code close to the resources, which is not foreseen by the traditional client/server paradigm. Compared to the client/server computing paradigm, the greater flexibility of the mobile agent paradigm comes at additional costs as well as the additional complexity of developing and managing mobile agent-based applications. Such complexity ...

Police Agents for Enforcing Internet Security

Mobile Agents have promised much as an Internet programming technology, but well publicized security problems are hampering their acceptance. This paper argues that mobile agents are a vital component of any Internet security solution. For instance, agents can move computations to safe areas, and can replace out-dated security mechanisms that adapt poorly to the Internet. To underline this argu...
