Data Security in Free Roaming Mobile Agents

Mobile agents are software programs that live in computer networks, performing their computations and moving from host to host as necessary to fulfill their goals. Mobile agents are especially useful in electronic commerce, for both wired and wireless environments. In this research work, both chain relation and TTP(trusted host) has used for protecting data of free roaming mobile agents which is called Trusted host by Knowledge Based System(TKBS). Using Knowledge based system, trusted host list is maintained. In trusted Host agent may not clone. By using chain relation with trusted host, redundancy will be reduced and efficiency will be improved.
