An Efficient Approach for Mobile Agent Security

A New Approach for Mobile Agent Security

A mobile agent is a software which performs an action autonomously and independently as a person or an organizations assistance. Mobile agents are used for searching information, retrieval information, filtering, intruder recognition in networks, and so on. One of the important issues of mobile agent is their security. It must consider different security issues in effective and secured usage of...

Mobile Agent Security with Efficient Oblivious Transfer

Cachin et al. and Algesheimer et al. proposed schemes using secure function evaluation for protecting mobile agents in untrusted environments. One of essential ingredients of their protocols is oblivious transfer (although not all of them require it). Unfortunately, naive application of oblivious transfer is inefficient because it must be performed for each bit of encrypted circuit inputs. Ther...

An Efficient Security Approach in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks

Mobile ad hoc Networks (MANETs) is a network formed without any central administration which consists of mobile nodes that use a wireless interface to send packet data. Since the nodes in a network of this kind can serve as router sand hosts, they can forward packets on be-half of other nodes and run user applications. An efficient security approach in mobile ad hoc networks will be described i...

An Intelligent Agent Approach for Security Management

A Security Oriented Architectural Approach for Mobile Agent Systems

Security is a critical parameter for the expansion and wide usage of agent technology. A threat model is constructed and subsequently the basic techniques to deal effectively with these threats are analyzed. Then this paper presents a dynamic, extensible, configurable and interoperable security architecture for mobile agent systems. It is explained how this architecture can be used to tackle a ...
