Abstract

Protection of data integrity in mobile agents has drawn much attention in recent years. Various degrees of agent data integrity have been achieved by a number of proposed schemes. A known vulnerability of these published techniques is the truncation attack. In this paper we propose a “fair forfeit” technique to prevent the truncation attack. It also prevents other known attacks such as the modification, insertion and deletion attacks.
