Abstract
Mobile agents are very useful in low bandwidth ad hoc network environments. But various attacks are possible against both agent and agent platforms. In this paper we have modeled hierarchical scheme for protecting mobile agent environment which is applicable to both wired and wireless networks. Colored Petri Net is used as a modeling tool which effectively models platform behavior and agent mobility through the movement of tokens and timed firing of transitions. We have considered centralized security scheme for our model where Trusted-Third-Party plays a central role in the communication.
