A Customer Privacy Protection Protocol on Agent-Based Electronic Commerce Transaction

Mobile agent technology is going to play an important role in the future electronic commerce due to the characteristics of mobility and autonomy of the agents. Therefore, security issues should be solved before we use this new technology. However, privacy protection of customers is seldom considered. In this paper, we focus on the privacy protection of customers. Moreover, we improve our scheme more feasible to the modern world.
