Abstract :
The current worm defense system cannot provide a safe mobile network against malicious worms. In this paper, we propose a fast vaccine distribution mechanism in agent-oriented worm defense system for mobile network. By this mechanism, the agents travel in a parallel and concurrent manner in the network by self-replicating approach, which tremendously improves the vaccine distributing efficiency. Several key technologies are discussed and the performance is analyzed
