Abstract :
The security of mobile agent is an important problem for applications based on mobile agent technology. In this paper, we analyzed the security of mobile agent platform in opening distributed computing environment and proposed a trusted management method for mobile agent system. The security of mobile agent is improved by the trusted computing platform. The mobile agent trusted supporting environment is designed by using trusted software stack and trusted computing platform. Some trusted computing services, including mobile agent trusted connection, mobile agent credential and authentication, mobile agent proxy service, and integrity measurement for entities among the system are provided.
