Abstract

. In the world of mobile agents, security aspects are extensively being discussed, with strong emphasis on how agents can be protected against malicious hosts and vice versa. This paper discusses a method for concealing an agent's route information from being misused by sites en route to collect profile information of the agent's owner. Furthermore, it is shown that the protected route resists attacks from a single malicious host and from colluding malicious hosts as well.
