Mobile agent information security in ad-hoc network

Abstract

Mobile Ad hoc network (MANET), provides better speed, and make fully symmetric distributed network. As network topology changes dynamically in an unpredictable manner, we can use mobile agents, which is a program code that transfer itself along with data from one host to another and execute themselves accordingly. The host provides execution environment to mobile agent. These agents much flexible as it can travel from host to host, and are more prone to security threats. This paper focuses on providing security to mobile agents in ad-hoc environment and agents are developed by using technologies like JADE and implementing RSA algorithm to it.
