Security Mechanisms for Mobile Agent Platforms Based on SPKI/SDSI Chains of Trust
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work defines a security scheme, based on SPKI/SDSI chains of trust, for protecting mobile agent platforms in large-scale distributed systems. The scheme is composed by a protocol of mutual authentication, a mobile agent authenticator and a mechanism for the generation of protection domain. Due to the flexibility of the SPKI/SDSI certificate delegation infrastructures used, the proposed scheme provides a decentralized control for authorization and authentication.

A Security Scheme for Mobile Agent Platforms in Large-Scale Systems
Mobile agents have recently started being deployed in largescale distributed systems. However, this new technology brings some security concerns of its own. In this work, we propose a security scheme for protecting mobile agent platforms in large-scale systems. This scheme comprises a mutual authentication protocol for the platforms involved, a mobile agent authenticator, and a method for gener...
متن کاملMASS: A Mobile Agent Security Scheme for the Creation of Virtual Enterprises
This article describes a security scheme, based on cryptographic protocols and SPKI/SDSI chains of trust, for protecting agent platforms and mobile agents in large-scale distributed systems. In addition, it proposes an approach on how trust building in mobile agent-based architectures can be reinforced by using security mechanisms in the process of searching and selecting partners to create a V...
متن کاملSecure mobile agent system and its application in the trust building process of virtual enterprises
The paradigm of mobile agents may be used in large-scale distributed systems due to its flexibility that comes from the mobility notion. However, this promising technology brings some security concerns of its own. This paper focuses on mechanisms of the Mobile Agent Security Scheme – MASS – for protecting mobile agents against malicious platforms by considering large-scale systems. This propose...
متن کاملDistributed SPKI/SDSI-Based Security for Networks of Devices
We describe a distributed security system based on SPKI/SDSI (Simple Public-Key Infrastructure/Simple Distributed Security Infrastructure) for heterogeneously networked, diverse devices. All components of the system, for example, appliances, wearable gadgets, software agents, and users have associated trusted software proxies that either run on the appliance hardware or on a trusted computer. W...
متن کاملLanguage based policy analysis in a SPKI Trust Management System
SPKI/SDSI is a standard for issuing authorization and name certificates. SPKI/SDSI can be used to implement a Trust Management System, where the policy for resource access is distributively specified by multiple trusted entities. Agents in the system need a formal mechanism for understanding the current state of policy. We present a first order temporal logic, called FTPL for specifying propert...
