Abstract :
The mobile agent is desired to be able to roam autonomously and anonymously from one agent platform to another one. To achieve this aim, a novel secure protocol is proposed to provide anonymity of the agent owner as well as the agent itinerary. In the presented method, a set of trusted auxiliary hosts named as mixers are employed to insert a transient fictitious owner in each step of the agent itinerary. The ability of the proposed protocol is analyzed and its resistance against traffic analysis attacks is illustrated.
