Security Approaches For Mobile Multi-Agent System

Mobile Computing is the current area of research. Many researchers trying to do research in this filed. In mobile Computing the mobile agents are the very important thing. When different mobile agents work in the same environment simultaneously it becomes a very important issue. Mobile agents have automatic, pro-active, and dynamic problem solving behaviors. However, scope of this paper is limited to analyze the existing security approaches for Mobile Multi Agent System. Security issues of mobile agent address the problem of securing and protecting agents from the attack of malicious hosts and other agents as well as securing the host from attack of malicious agents. This paper studies the various security solutions proposed by researchers for Mobile Agents in Multi Agent environment for different applications and analyze them on the basis of various parameters such as performance, requirements and complexity.
