Secure Mobile Agents on Embedded Boards: a TPM based solution

Abstract

Security can be considered one of the essential aspects of any software system today. The current landscape is constantly evolving and new computing models are appearing at the same time as different attacks emerge. All this means that there is an increasing need for new security solutions. Among the different aspects that are opening up, this work focuses on the protection of sensitive data. In particular, an environment based on mobile agents is considered, which contains sensitive information that needs to be protected. To simulate an Internet of Things (IoT) environment, the agencies on which the agents run are deployed on Raspberry Pi devices.
