An object-oriented approach to containing mobile and active codes in large-scale networks

Abstract

An efficient method for containing mobile code and active code for the purpose of preventing security intrusion in large-scale networks is presented. This approach also provides flexibility in programming to make the networks more dependable from security point of view. It is scalable for large-scale networks, where mobile code communication is an integral part of the systems. The approach uses object-oriented components for the ease of deployment and easy use of features like selection of a specific protocol.
