A Mobile Agent Clone Detection System with Itinerary Privacy
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a system for the detection of unauthorized cloning of mobile agents by malicious hosts. The system can detect clones after the fact, identify the culprit, and then seek penalties. The agent migration protocol is offline (non-centralized). The itinerary of an agent is privacy-protected. Our scheme is based on Wong’s transferable extension [Won01] of Ferguson’s single-term offline untraceable e-cash [Fer93]. The main technique is to map the clone detection problem to the double-spending problem in transferable e-cash, and then adopt and adapt existing solutions from the latter field.

Clone-based Mobile Agent Itinerary Planning Using Separate Trees for Data Fusion in Wsns
Recent studies demonstrate that Mobile Agent (MA) approach could be more effective than conventional client-server model in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Particularly, itinerary planning for MAs is a significant aspect of these approaches. Tree-based methods have been widely used for this purpose where many agents are dispatched simultaneously. Most of tree-based methods try to construct an op...

Logical or virtual networks based on mobile agents exhibit a high level of internal dynamics: Agent servers and services are added, deleted, or modified, connection quality changes over time, etc. In addition, the size of these networks steadily grows, as practical experience shows, and adds a quantitative factor that makes scalable solutions and structures mandatory. These aspects cannot be ha...
متن کاملOn Mobile Agent Itinerary for Collaborative Processing in Sensor Networks
One of the most important problems studied in wireless sensor network applications is the collaborative processing among sensor nodes in order to compensate for each other’s sensing and computing capabilities and to tolerate faults. The client/server based paradigm and the mobile agent based paradigm are two popular computing models used in collaborative processing. One of the most challenging ...

In the field of intelligent distributed computing in dynamic computer networks, we focus on mobile agents and mobile agent systems, especially on the itinerary problem and the adaptivity of mobile agents. This paper outlines our current research activities which are based on the Tracy mobile agent system, developed at FSU during the last few years. For our purposes we expand this system by addi...
متن کاملPodcast Distribution on Gwanda Using PrivHab: A Multiagent Secure Georouting Protocol
We present PrivHab, a georouting protocol that improves multiagent systems itinerary decision-making. PrivHab uses the mobility habits of the nodes of the network to select an itinerary for each agent carrying a piece of data. PrivHab makes use of cryptographic techniques to make the decisions while preserving nodes’ privacy. PrivHab uses a waypoint-based georouting that achieves a high perform...
