The Study of the Trust Mechanism Based on Mobile Agent in the E-Commerce Agricultural Commodity Trade

Abstract

This paper has proposed a trust-based security mechanism that aims at the security threat facing the host during the transmission of the mobile agent in agricultural commodity trade. Mobile agent is a program that can autonomously migrate between heterogeneous network hosts. Mobile agent has the characteristics of mobility, autonomy, intelligence, flexibility and other characteristics, making it have wide prospects of application in electronic commerce. Because of the characteristics of mobile agent, its security issues have never been solved well. With the continuous development of mobile agent, mobile agent security has become a vital constraint towards further development of mobile agent technology. A new trust algorithm has been designed for the trust mechanism. By combining the trust mechanism with the model of mobile agent, this paper has realized the trust mechanism in the E-commerce system based on mobile agent.
