Abstract

This paper discusses the design and implementation details of MAST (Mobile Agent-based Security Tool), a new mobile agent-based network security approach. MAST has been designed to support flexible and customizable network security tasks and training. This paper focuses on the implementation details and security aspects of MAST's components, services, and mobile-agent architecture
