Protecting Mobile Agent Itineraries

Mobile agents are believed to be playing an important role in future e-commerce systems, offering great flexibility and improved performance. Mobile agents are processes which can autonomously migrate from host to host. The migration path followed by an agent can be abstracted for programming convenience into an itinerary. A flexible structure of itinerary is used in Concordia or Ajanta Agent Systems, using sequence, alternative, and set entries.
