Journal ArticleDOI
Enforcing integrity of agent migration paths by distribution of trust
TL;DR: The security issues involved are discussed, protocols for secure agent migration are proposed, and an agent platform for mobile agents is used to illustrate the feasibility of the implementation of these protocols.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Enforcing security in the AgentScape middleware
TL;DR: A novel security policy enforcement system for multi agent middleware systems is introduced that facilitates a set of good default configurations but also allows extensive scope for users to develop customised policies to suit their individual needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Constructing secure mobile agent systems using the agent operating system
Guido J. Van 't Noordende,Benno J. Overeinder,Reinier Timmer,Frances M. T. Brazier,Andrew S. Tanenbaum +4 more
TL;DR: This paper motivates the design of AOS, describes how AOS is used in a mobile agent system, and presents performance measures for an agent transfer protocol layered upon AOS.
Book ChapterDOI
Design of a Secure and Decentralized Location Service for Agent Platforms
Benno J. Overeinder,Michel Oey,Reinier Timmer,Reinout van Schouwen,Erik Rozendaal,Frances M. T. Brazier +5 more
TL;DR: The location service based on the Fonkey public key distribution infrastructure presented in this paper has been designed and implemented for this purpose and is scalable in the total number of published identifier---contact address pairs, the number of updates/changes, and thenumber of agent platforms publishing and requesting contact addresses.
A Common Base for Building Secure Mobile Agent Middleware
G.J. van t Noordende,Benno J. Overeinder,Reinier Timmer,Frances M. T. Brazier,Andrew S. Tanenbaum +4 more
TL;DR: The Agent Operating System (AOS) provides the basic functio ality needed for secure and reliable mobile agent platforms: secure communication, secure agent storage and migration, and min imal primitives for agent life-cycle management.
