Abstract

Security Framework for Mobile Agent Platforms or SFMAP key feature of this approach is to provide for multiple levels of access control for agents that arrive at a server, depending on their level of trust. This level is dependent on the previous history of servers visited. This necessitates an entirely new approach to authentication and authorisation based on history plus identity, rather than just identity. The designed framework contains many different services for which permissions can be defined, including system and database resources.
