Abstract

Firewalls are core elements in network security. However detecting anomalies, particularly in distributed firewalls has become a complex task. Mobile agents promise an interesting approach for communications between different distributed systems. The main challenge when deploying mobile agent environments pertains to security issues concerning mobile agents and their executive platform. In this work, we propose a firewall anomalies' detection system using a secure mobile agents approach where protection is based on the cooperation of a trust agent running inside a trust host.
