Abstract

Our previous works have proposed the deployment of mobile agents to assist vertical handover decisions in 4G. Adding a mobile agent in the 4G could lead to many advantages such as reduced consumption of network bandwidth, delay in network latency and reduction in the time taken to complete a particular task. However, this deployment demands that the deployed collection of agents shall be secure and trustworthy. Security of a mobile agent includes maintaining confidentiality, reality and integrity of not only the agent employed but also the system in which it is deployed. In fact, many conventional security solutions exists, however, very few of them addresses the challenge of introducing trusted computing in mobile agents, deployed in 4G, in particular. This paper proposes a new reliability model by implementing trust certificate for mobile agents in vertical handover.

Highlights

  • All standard paper components have been specified for three reasons: (1) ease of use when formatting individual papers, (2) automatic compliance to electronic requirements that facilitate the concurrent or later Mobile agent is an entity that migrates from one system to another to access remote resources or to interact with other agents

  • Mobile agent based emigration framework for 4G (MAEF) [16] which helps to switch the network during critical situations of draining battery without interrupting the ongoing task were proposed

  • This work proposed a new reliability model for generating trust certificate for all agents participating in vertical handover procedure happening in 4G

Summary

INTRODUCTION

All standard paper components have been specified for three reasons: (1) ease of use when formatting individual papers, (2) automatic compliance to electronic requirements that facilitate the concurrent or later Mobile agent is an entity that migrates from one system to another to access remote resources or to interact with other agents. Literature [9] reflect that “Trust is the firm belief in the competence of an entity to act as expected such that this firm belief is not a fixed value associated with the entity but rather it is subject to the entity‟s behavior and applies only within a specific context at a given time” Using this definition the proposed work assigns weight to the mobile agents, which is further, used for calculating the credibility of a mobile agent.
