Formalizing Soft Trust Management

Security plays very important role in distributed systems .Mobile agents allows us to gain greater access to hosts in these systems. But, the success of using mobile agent paradigm depends on the level of security that hosts offers it. We tried to put stress on social aspects related to security called soft trust to determine the intentions of hosts. Proposed model will help to move mobile agent through hosts by formulating their social behaviors, experience, recommendation and reputation.
