Abstract
Mobile Agents are self-contained objects that are not bound to the system on which it begins execution. Its features like mobility, cloning, learning and interactions introduces many security problems with hosts (agent platforms) on which they execute. Reputation-based trust ensures cooperative interactions among mobile agents and visited hosts. The fundamental idea of this paper is to explain direct and indirect trust measures and derive reputation for hosts so that agents are prevented from being tampered by malicious hosts.
