Abstract :
The protection of Mobile Agent against malicious Agent is the very essential task and it seems to be more challenging task also. Due to not having adequate security the Mobile Agent environment does not have full adaptation in the real world applications. Every Mobile Agent in the environment needs a mechanism to identify the Non-malicious Agent that is Trusted Agent for its security. In general the hassle free environment is well suited for the Mobile Agent. Anyhow, we cannot expect the environment without any vulnerability. Hence, the adaptation of USB Dongle based approach for Identity in Distributing the Symmetric key would empower the Mobile Agent Security. The new technique of introducing Agent Identity in distributing the Symmetric Key to the newly attached Agents of the Platform thru USB Based retrieval of Identity is giving a new shape and strength.
