  • The traditional client-server model RPC and mobile agents have been used for interprocess communication between processes in different hosts. The performances of two mechanisme were analyzed in the literature [4, 6, 9]. But the security services which extensively affect the performance of systems because of low speed have not been considered. We propose two performance models considering the security services for the RPC and the mobile agent Through the analysis of the models, we show that the execution time of the mobile agent takes less than the RPC In the environment considering security services.

  • The data security of free-roaming mobile agent is a problem which hasn't been resolved to the mobility and inter-host mapping. totally, especially in theaspect of keeping away truncation attacks. Therefore, when the agent is utilized for user oriented applied technique, the secure execution guarantee of agent is essential. In this paper, it guarantees safe execution from security threats generated by malicious host during the agent's execution. And the secure execution guarantee mechanism of agent is proposed from favorable host is maliciously abused by attacker. Thus, the execution trace protocol mechanism proposed as secure mobile agents execution guarantee. As security analysis of the safety analysis.

  • In distributed computing paradigm, mobile surrogate systems migrates from on host in a network to another. However, Mobile surrogate system have not gained wide acceptance because of security concerns that have not been suitably addressed yet. In this paper, we propose a security framework based on Grid Proxy Gateway for mobile Grid service. The current Grid Security Infrastructure is extended to mobile computing environments. The surrogate host system designed for mobile Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) users can access the certified host and get his proxy credential to launch remote job submission securely.

  • According to the development of mobile communications, the future mobile communication systems are expected to provide high quality multimedia service to users. Therefore, many technical factors we needed in these systems. Especially the confidentiality and the security would be obtained through the introduction of the security for mobile communications. In this paper, we propose an efficient Proxy-Signcryption scheme, which can be performed digital signature and encryption by using the proxy agent who has more computational power under mobile communications environment. The proposed scheme provides non-repudiation and prevents creating illegal signature by the origin and proxy agent in a phase of proxy signature processing. This scheme also keeps the confidentiality and the security in mobile communication by means of confirming the signature by right receiver.

  • Mobile agent system comes into the spotlight since it contributes largely to mobile computing on distributed network environment. However, this system has a number of significant security Problems. In this Paper, we analyze suity attacks to mobile agent system Presented by NIST[3]. In order to protect this system from them, we suggest a security protocol for mobile agent system by employing R based key distribution and digital multi-signature scheme. To solve these problems described in NIST, securities for mobile agent and agent platform shouid be accomplished. Comparing with other protocols, our protocol performs both of these securities, while other protocols mentioned only one of them. Proposed Protocol satisfies simplicity of key management, providing security service such as confidentiality, integrity, authentication and preventing reputation, liveness guarantee, protection of excution-result data and preventing replay attack. Furthermore, it is designed to detect message modification immediately by verifying each step of agent execution at a corresponding server.

  • The computer security is considered important due to the side effect generated from the expansion of computer network and rapid increase of the use of internet. Therefore, Intrusion detection system has been an active research area to reduce the risk from intruders. A number of advantages of using mobile agent computing paradigms have been Proposed. These advantages include : overcoming network latency, reducing network load, executing asynchronously and autonomously, adapting dynamically, and operating in heterogeneous environments. Many information security models have been proposed to mitigate agent-to-agent. agent-to-platform, and platform-to-agent element risks . In these paper, We have an object which is that through intrusion detection system development, the mobile agent is managed and through the analysis of performance data. the best environment is served.

  • As a result of the vast amount of data that is geographically found in different locations. Distributed data mining (DDM) has taken a center stage in data mining. The use of mobile agents to enhance efficiency in DDM has gained the attention of industries, commerce and academia because it offers serious suggestions on how to solve inherent problems associated with DDM. In this paper, a novel DDM model has been proposed by using a mobile agent to enhance efficiency. The main idea behind the model is to use the Naive Bayes algorithm to give the mobile agent the ability to learn, compare, get and store the results on it from each server which has different datasets and we found that the accuracy increased roughly by 0.9% which is our main target.

  • This research presents the development of a certain highly efficient model for group security policy negotiation using mobile agents in the IPSec environment. The conventional IP security systems has some problems. A drawback to these systems is that the required policy between each security area is different. Another problem is not possible to guarantee whether a packet is transmitted through the same path by both directions and is protected by the same policy due to the topology of the network. Unlike conventional systems, the model developed herein can be resolved by using a mobile agent technology. If each domain needs a negotiation of security policy, a mobile agent manages the result of the negotiation in the form of a passport and guarantees the authentication and reliability each other by using the passport.

  • A mobile agent is a program which represents a user in a network and is capable of migrating from one node to another node, performing computations on behalf of the user. In this paper, we suggest a scheme that can safely recover mobile agent using the checkpoint that is saved at the platform that it visited previously and restart its execution from the abnormal termination point of the mobile agent. For security, mobile agent uses its public key to encrypt the checkpoint and the home platform uses the private key of the mobile agent to decrypt the encrypted checkpoints at the recovery stage. When home platform receives the checkpoint of the mobile agent, home platform verifies the checkpoint using message digest. Home platform verifies the correctness of the checkpoint by comparing the message digest generated at checkpoint mention time with the message digest generated at mobile agent recovery time.
