A Novel Approach To Achieve Optimized Obfuscation Technique For Mobile Agent.

Abstract

The main area of discussion of our paper “Security of Mobile Agent” is on the host platform attacking the mobile agents. Malicious host is a system in network which can take advantage of a mobile agent. A malicious host can attack the agent and modify, steal corrupting its code or state. It can deny services, return false results or even terminate it completely. Providing security against the host is difficult because the host needs to have the full information of the code and the state in order to execute the agent. We have implemented a new strategy security mode to secure our mobile agent such that its code is protected on channel/host so that no malicious or third party can access it and the confidentiality may be preserved and ultimately working on the problem of host attacking the agent. Our code is assembled in executable form at run time so that execution platform cannot get enough time to understand it. This technique is motivated from obfuscation technique and tries to reduce the coherent problem of trade off.
