Abstract

Agent-based Mobile Petri Nets are a powerful variant of classical Petri Nets which integrate mobile agent technology. A mobile agent migrates among heterogeneous platforms by acquiring their services to perform its goal. Agent-based Mobile Petri Nets effectively model mobility, concurrency and distributed nature of a mobile agent. However, security aspects related to mobile agent's mobility are still lacking. This paper has enriched Agent-based Mobile Petri Nets with access control mechanisms. Two access control mechanisms namely; static and dynamic, have been integrated in Agent-based Mobile Petri Nets. For static access control, each mobile agent net is equipped with an access control list which defines a fixed list and access rights for visiting mobile agents. For dynamic access control, access control matrix has been associated with each mobile agent net for granting the visiting mobile agents with respective privileges. The assigned privileges are not fixed and they change with state of agent net. Finally the proposed access control mechanisms are verified with a case study.

扩展具有访问控制的基于代理的移动Petri网

基于agent的移动Petri网是经典Petri网的强大变体，它集成了移动agent技术。移动代理通过获取不同平台的服务来实现其目标，从而在不同平台之间迁移。基于agent的移动Petri网有效地模拟了移动agent的移动性、并发性和分布式特性。然而，与移动代理的移动性相关的安全方面仍然缺乏。本文用访问控制机制丰富了基于agent的移动Petri网。两种访问控制机制，即;在基于agent的移动Petri网中集成了静态的和动态的。对于静态访问控制，每个移动代理网络配备一个访问控制列表，该列表定义了访问移动代理的固定列表和访问权限。对于动态访问控制，访问控制矩阵与每个移动代理网络相关联，以授予访问的移动代理各自的权限。分配的权限不是固定的，它们随着代理网络的状态而变化。最后，通过实例验证了所提出的访问控制机制。
