Paper Abstract:
|
Mobile agents are a promising computing paradigm. Scientific community has devoted important efforts to this field. In
fact, nowadays many applications exist based on this technology. However, the main drawback for the widespread use of
mobile agent technology is the lack of the appropriate security mechanisms and the difficulty found in the application of
these. The application of the current security techniques is not trivial for agent based system developers, whose expertise
in security is much reduced. This paper presents a hardware based protection infrastructure that takes advantage of the
recent advances in the trusted hardware applied to solve the problem known as the malicious host in mobile agent
systems. The infrastructure presented in this paper is composed of an extension to the JADE framework and the Trusted
Computing technology. |
