Abstract

The aim of the work presented in this paper is to check cryptographic protocols for mobile agents against both network intruders and malicious hosts using formal methods. We focus attention on data integrity properties and show how the techniques used for classical message-based protocols such as authentication protocols can be applied to mobile agent systems as well. To illustrate our approach, we use a case study taken from the literature and show how it can be specified and verified using some currently available tools.
