Secure Transactions with Mobile Agents in Hostile Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major problem of mobile agents is their apparent inability to authenticate transactions in hostile environments. In this paper, we consider a framework for the prevention of agent tampering without compromising the mobility or autonomy of the agent. Our approach uses encrypted functions. We present an RSA implementation which answers affirmatively the open problem on undetachable signatures of Sander and Tschudin.

transactions using mobile agents need secure protocols to help the mobile agents to accomplish the transactions initiated by a client in an electronic commerce. However, the mobile agent could encounter hostile environment. For example, a server may compromise the mobile agent and try to obtain private information of the client. A solution to tackle this issue has been proposed. However, the ex...

Mobile agents raise security issues such as the protection of platform/host that runs the mobile agent against attacks which can harm or use its resources without permission, and another is the need for protection to guard mobile agents and their supporting systems against the malicious attacks from a variety of intervening sources that might alter information it carries and processes when it v...

We study information flow security in the setting of mobile agents. We propose a sufficient condition to security named Persistent BNDC. A process is Persistent BNDC when every of its reachable states satisfies a basic Non-Interference property called BNDC. By imposing that security persists during process execution, one is guaranteed that every potential migration is performed in a stable, sec...
