Protecting free-roaming mobile agent against multiple colluded truncation attacks

Mobile agent environment is one of the emerging technology to reduce the network traffic. Various security issues are identified and protected. Now the new security issue in this environment is the multiple colluded truncation attacks in the Free-roaming mobile agents. This paper proposes the identity verification mechanism to protect the multiple colluded truncation attacks The identification is verified from the beginning dummy offer of the creator of the agent.
