Performance enhanced mobile agent for e-commerce based applications

To reduce the network traffic in the internet, mobile agent technology is used in vast number of network based applications. However, there are some security issues. Many of the existing models are used to provide the security for the mobile agent. In most of the existing models, cloning the mobile agent is high which increases time and also occupies more space. To reduce the mobile agent cloning, this research proposes a new model to enhance the security of the data. In this model the mobile agent travel around the network, collects the required data from one host, encrypt it and send it to the owner immediately. After sending the data then the mobile agent migrate into the next host. This model enhances the security of the data and also retain the size of the mobile agent same.
