Abstract

Mobile agent has several advantages compared to the traditional client/server architecture. However, a wider use of this technology is currently limited by the lack of a comprehensive security framework, especially for the protection of mobile agents from malicious hosts. This paper presents a protocol that protects a mobile agent against attacks from malicious hosts, for e-commerce applications. Using the reference execution concept, this protocol protects a mobile agent from the alteration of its code, its execution flow, its data and its itinerary.
