Trust in Mobile Agent Systems

چکیده
The protection of mobile agent systems continues to be an active area of research that will enable future applications to utilize this paradigm of computing. Agent systems and mobile applications must balance security requirements with available security mechanisms in order to meet application level security goals. We pose models for viewing security in application contexts that aid the mobile agent system design process. Our models relate security attributes for principals in mobile architecture to support reasoning about applicable security requirements, trust expression among principals, and mechanisms for protection.

Cooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
متن کاملApplication Security Models for Mobile Agent Systems
Mobile agents are a distributed computing paradigm based on mobile autonomous programs. Mobile applications must balance security requirements with available security mechanisms in order to meet application level security goals. We introduce a trust framework to reason about application security requirements, trust expression, and agent protection mechanisms. We develop application security mod...
متن کاملMobile Agent Security - Issues and Directions
It is obvious that a prerequisite for use of mobile agent systems in many settings is that security is taken care of. A proper trust model is necessary in order to build security. A lot of security issues arise if the trust model implies that not all hosts are trusted. This paper discusses trust models, examines the security issues, and points at possible directions for solutions in terms of se...
متن کاملOn the Problem of Trust in Mobile Agent Systems
Systems that support mobile agents are increasingly being used on the global Internet. Security concerns dealing with the protection of the execution environment from malicious agents are extensively being tackled. We concentrate on the reverse problem, namely how a mobile agent can be protected from malicious behaviour of the execution environment, which is largely ignored. We will identify th...
متن کاملSecure mobile agent system and its application in the trust building process of virtual enterprises
The paradigm of mobile agents may be used in large-scale distributed systems due to its flexibility that comes from the mobility notion. However, this promising technology brings some security concerns of its own. This paper focuses on mechanisms of the Mobile Agent Security Scheme – MASS – for protecting mobile agents against malicious platforms by considering large-scale systems. This propose...
