A method of safety communication for mobile agent

Security has been the key barrier to the extensive deployment of mobile agent (MA) technologies. In a mobile agent system (MAS), there are a variety of security issues, one of which is security issue in data communications. This paper proposes a method for assuring the security of data transmission in communications after analyzing the security threats in the communications for MAs. Utilizing some encryption and authentication technologies, this method can satisfy the security requirements of data transmission for MAs very well
