Abstract

This paper describes the mobile agent paradigm for distributedcomputing, and outlines the security-related issuesencountered in supporting it. One of the major requirementsis the provision of access control mechanisms for server resources.Several possible designs are discussed, and onesuch proxy-based design, which we have developed in conjunctionwith the Ajanta mobile agent system, is describedin detail. Extensions of this mechanism which allow accountingof usage and selective revocation of access privilegesare discussed. The Java security model is also described,since the security of the proxy mechanism dependson it.
