Protecting Applications and Devices in Nomadic Business Environments

چکیده
This paper presents a pragmatic approach to protect the integrity of execution of an application in a nomadic business environment. Applications run in such contexts are based on the federation of appliances collaborating through direct communication as well as through the distribution of mobile pieces of code. Securing the operation of an application means protecting mobile code since execution environments may misbehave as well as protecting the environments because mobile pieces of code are potentially malicious. After reviewing several such protection techniques, an architecture for securing business-to-employee and business-to-business nomadic applications is drafted based on the trust model that can be assumed in such a context.

متن کاملMobile Agent Architecture for Nomadic Computing
Our goal is to de ne a communication architecture for nomadic applications. We notice that the mobile agent paradigm is particularly suitable for nomadic applications. Although many mobile agent systems are being proposed, few of them raise the problem of the interface between applications and mobile agents. We propose to use the MAP (Mobile Assistant Programming) architecture and add a middlew...
متن کاملNOW: A Workflow Language for Orchestration in Nomadic Networks
Existing workflow languages for nomadic or mobile ad hoc networks do not offer adequate support for dealing with the volatile connections inherent to these environments. Services residing on mobile devices are exposed to (temporary) network failures, which should be considered the rule rather than the exception. This paper proposes a nomadic workflow language built on top of an ambient-oriented...
