Mobile agent security

چکیده
The agent paradigm is currently attracting much research. A mobile agent is a particular type of agent with the ability to migrate from one host to another where it can resume its execution. In this article we consider security issues that need to be addressed before multi-agent systems in general, and mobile agents in particular, can be a viable solution for a broad range of commercial applications. We do this through considering the implications of the characteristics given to agents and general properties of open multi-agent systems. We then look in some more detail at technology and methods applicable to mobile agent systems.

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 ...

متن کاملMobile Agent Security
Mobile agent technology is a new paradigm of distributed computing that can replace the conventional client-server model. However, it has not become popular due to some problems such as security. Threats to mobile agent security generally fall into three main classes: disclosure of information, denial of service, and corruption of information. Four threat categories are identified: threats stem...
