For several years, the lack of a secure computing infrastructure has hindered the development of commercial mobile agent based applications. While various approaches for meeting these security issues have been proposed, they have lacked the focus to meet the challenges of a dynamically changing environment within which mobile agents operate. The seminar will discuss the facets of mobile agent communities while highlighting the security vulnerabilities of mobile agents.
The seminar will present an Integrated Security Framework (ISF) for combating the security vulnerabilities faced by mobile agent communities. The ISF consists of a self-executing security examination schema (SENSE) and a mutual support mechanism (Buddy model) for securing the operations of mobile agent communities. The seminar will give an overview of the ISF and discuss in detail the architecture and operation of the SENSE schema.
