Abstract

Mobile agent technology offers a new approach to mining information from data sources distributed over the Internet. However, the potential benefits of mobile agents must be weighted against the real security threats. An agent based Distributed Data Mining (DDM) system must cope with exposed data services and insecure communication channels in the Internet to protect the privacy, integrity and availability of agents and distributed resources. In this paper, we present the design of a mobile agent infrastructure for DDM applications and discuss the implementation of security mechanism that has been effectively integrated with the mobile agent virtual machine.
