Abstract :
The main problem that counters the deployment of the mobile agents environment is related to the security aspect of the mobile agents and the platform executing them. In this paper, we introduce a secure protocol for these environments which protects the mobile agents against the attacks of malicious hosts. The protection is based on the perfect cooperation of a sedentary agent running inside a trusted third host. The results have proved A El Rhazi (2003) that the protocol protects truly the mobile agent and the performances of the applications using this technology will not be severely affected.
