Abstract

The notion of trust is presented as an important component in a security infrastructure for mobile agents. A trust model that can be used in tackling the aspect of protecting mobile agents from hostile platforms is proposed. We define several trust relationships in our model, and present a trust derivation algorithm that can be used to infer new relationships from existing ones. An example of how such a model can be utilized in a practical system is provided.KeywordsTrust ModelMobile AgentTrust RelationshipExecution TraceDirect TrustThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
