Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology can be naturallyintegrated with mobile agent technology in Internetapplications, taking advantage of the autonomy,mobility, and efficiency of mobile agents in accessingand processing data. In this paper, we address theproblem of protecting critical information in agent-based P2P Internet applications under two differentscenarios. First, we assume the route of a mobile agentin the P2P system is fixed. Under this assumption, wepropose the usage of an efficient parallel dispatch modelwhere the agent's route is signcrypted at the first stepand dispatched to each new peer to collect information.Then, we assume the route is not specified and wepropose the usage of a modified multi-signcryptionscheme to guarantee protection. Based on this secondapproach, a mobile agent determines the next peer tocommunicate with independently and information iscollected dynamically in one round of visiting a group ofpeers. Security issues under the two proposed modelsare then discussed.
