Runtime Security Verification for Itinerary-Driven Mobile Agents

We present a new approach to ensure the secure execution of itinerary-driven mobile agents, in which the specification of the navigational behavior of an agent is separated from the specification of its computational behavior. We empower each host with an access control policy so that the host will deny the access from an agent whose itinerary does not conform to the host's access control policy. A host uses model checking algorithms to check if the itinerary of the agent conforms to its access control policy written in
