Mobile agents represent a new communication paradigm which has recently obtained a great attention from researcher and practitioners. Interesting applications exist in the fields of distributed systems management, mobility and information retrieval. But, although widely recognized as a crucial point to be addressed, security has not been pursued in a satisfactory way yet. Most of all the existing software environment for agent programming do not offer security features or provide only partial implementations. In this paper we propose a security schema for mobile agent and describe its implementation inside the MAP platform. Some experimental results are also provide to evaluate the overhead introduced from the adoption of the proposed security mechanism.
