Abstract :
Mobile computers and devices may operate in a variety of environments with different security schemes. We present a mobile agent-based security model, which supports flexible and specific security measures required by mobile computers and devices in distributed systems. We give a full description of mobile agent and its migration modes. After discussing possible security threats, our model is explained in detail and security analysis is also given.
