A key element of any mobile code based distributed system are the security mechanisms available to protect (a) the host against potentially hostile actions of a code fragment under...
Abstract. The goal of mobile agent systems is to provide a distributed computing infrastructure supporting applications whose components can move between different execution enviro...

We study the security challenges faced by the mobile agent paradigm, where code travels and performs computations on remote hosts in an autonomous manner. We define universally co...
Smartcards can be seen as service providing entities that implement a secure, tamper-proof storage and offer computational resources which make them ideally suited for a variety o...
Mobile agents are software entities consisting of code, data and state that can migrate autonomously from host to host executing their code. Unfortunately, security issues restrict...
