An adaptive security model for mobile agents in wireless networks

In this paper, we have proposed an adaptive security scheme for denial of service security threats in mobile agent system based on wireless ad hoc network environment. This model is based on a fuzzy feedback controller and allows the ad hoc mobile network user to select the security level and requirement he/she needs. Our model integrates the existing security techniques in providing adaptive security for mobile agents in ad hoc network. The goal of the proposed scheme is to provide a security framework that will detect automatically various attacks and then take appropriate measures to deal with the attack. We have simulated the proposed scheme and conducted experiments for selected denial of service attacks.
