s-agent: the Design of Secure Mobile Agent System

Overview This paper proposes a secure mobile agent system s-agent. There exists a wide range of security issues in using mobile agents. We categorized the attacks against mobile agent security into three: attacks by hosts against agents, ones by agents against hosts and ones between agents. s-agent system provides an architecture which covers these three categories of attacks.

Existing researches solve some parts of the problems, leaving the others still unsolved. For the agents to be widely used, as many problems as possible must be solved. This system is distinctive in its inter-agent access control. Modification detection and DoS-attack-resistant security manager are also featured.
