TLDR
It is shown that distributed-object technology is an enabling technology for intelligent trade agents that roam a network, collect and analyse the data from servers on the network and make decisions to buy and sell goods on behalf of a user.Abstract:
Electronic commerce on the Internet has the potential to generate billions of transactions but the number of merchants providing goods or services on the Internet will be so large, that it will become impossible for humans to visit each site and decide where it is best to buy or sell goods. In this paper we develop intelligent trade agents that roam a network, collect and analyse the data from servers on the network and make decisions to buy and sell goods on behalf of a user. The combination of distributed-object technology and single and public key encryption mechanisms makes these agents secure intelligent trade agents. We show that distributed-object technology is an enabling technology for intelligent trade agents.read more

Secure Mobile Agent Using Strong Non-designated Proxy Signature
TL;DR: This paper shows that secure mobile agent can be constructed using strong non-designated proxy signature [LKK01] which represents both the original signer and the proxy signer's (remote server) signatures, and provides RSA-based and Schnorr-based constructions of secure mobileAgent.

Intelligent software agent system architecture
Andrzej Uszok,Pawel Kunstman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a software architecture that supports deployment of mobile software agents over the Internet, where agents are bifurcated into two parts, a first part executable on a user's client platform (mBot) and a corresponding second part, called sBot, executable on the bot server (sBot server).

Secure Transactions with Mobile Agents in Hostile Environments
TL;DR: This paper considers a framework for the prevention of agent tampering without compromising the mobility or autonomy of the agent and presents an RSA implementation which answers affirmatively the open problem on undetachable signatures of Sander and Tschudin.
Secret Computation with Secrets for Mobile Agent using One-time Proxy Signature
TL;DR: proxy signature scheme is applied to the mobile agent system to enhance security and eciency and a one-time proxy signature scheme to limit the signing power of the server is suggested.

Software agents
TL;DR: In this approach to software development, application programs are written as software agents, i.e. software “components” that communicate with their peers by exchanging messages in an expressive agent communication language.
