Abstract :
Mobile computers and devices may operate in a variety of environments with different security schemes. In this paper, we present a mobile agent based security model. The model supports the flexible and extensible application specific security measures required by mobile computers and devices in distributed system. First, we gave a full description of mobile agent and its migration modes. After discussing the possible security threats, the model is explained at length and security analysis is also given in the way of collaboration requirements, mobility requirements and execution requirements
