Abstract
From a security perspective, the most relevant attribute of mobile computations is that they can cross security domain boundaries. This is important since security policies and mechanisms are often location-sensitive. When boundaries are crossed, trust relationships can change and hence trust decisions can no longer be made statically. For instance, a host’s trust in an agent may change as the agent migrates through other potentially-hostile hosts.
