Application of Mobile Agents for Security Using Multilevel Access Control

in distributed computing environment, Mobile agents are mobile autonomous processes which operate on behalf of users (e.g., the Internet). These applications include a specialized search of a middleware services such as an active mail system, large free-text database, electronic malls for shopping, and updated networking devices. Mobile agent systems use less network bandwidth, increase asynchrony among clients and servers, dynamically update server interfaces and introduce concurrency. Due to software components, security of mobile agent is essential in any mobile agent based application. Security services such as Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Authorization and Non-Repudiation are discussed and combat with by the researchers. This work is proposing a new technique for access control area of security for the mobile agents and it will be implemented using an example of shopping cart data sharing for multiple levels.
