摘要：Mobile agent technology has become a new paradigm of distributed computing that can replace theconventional client-server model. Despite its many practical benefits, it results in significant new security threats frommalicious agents and from malicious hosts. Many techniques for the first have been developed. The second problemseems to be much harder. We will focus on the second one. We found that there is not a single, comprehensive solutionthat provides complete protection of agents against malicious hosts. Existing solutions either only detect or to someextent prevent attacks on agents. This paper gives a comparative survey on of the main security issues related to themobile agent paradigm. These issues include security threats, security requirements and techniques for keeping themobile agent secure against malicious hosts.
