Privacy Protection in Mobile Agent Based Service Domain

In a mobile agent based environment personal data can be stolen, leaked or sent out to unauthorized persons by malicious mobile agents. In this paper we describe a new architecture and mechanism for user privacy protection in mobile agent based service domain. Agents meet at a protected and encapsulated agent computing environment from where they are not allowed to communicate with the outside world and also are not allowed to leave the platform. All the agents are killed at the host and the computation result is sent to respective parties by the trusted agent meeting and executing platform
