Abstract

This paper deals with the prevention of security issues on mobile agents in IP Networks. We propose a new security computing model based on trusted server to avert Eavesdropping and Alternation attacks. The new protocol will be implemented using IBM mobile agent platform, Aglet. The new framework consists of components that provide support to the mobile agent while it is touring hosts in the agent space. It also protects the confidentiality and integrity of parts of the mobile agent. We conduct performance analysis over different types of mobile agents over a real IP Traces under malicious actions.
