Abstract

Mobile Agent is an autonomous mobility technology is being applied in various fields. In particular, mobile agents execution in the Internet environment through the safe execution of the security must be guaranteed. Also, agent to run the agent, the agent's workload should be distributed. In this paper, a trust model based on the security mechanism of the agent execution is proposed. Proposed mechanism to ensure safe execution of the agent was not considered in existing relative researches for rational agent workload distribution and load balancing to improve throughput was. The proposed trust-based security mechanisms for agents to go through security analysis proved safe execution of the agent.

이동 에이전트는 이동성이 있어 다양한 분야에서 응용되는 기술이다. 특히 오픈네트워크에서의 이동 에이전트 실행은 보안을 통한 안전한 실행이 보장되어야 한다. 또한 에이전트는 에이전트 실행을 위해 에이전트의 작업량 분배가 이루어져야 한다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 신뢰모델 기반의 에이전트 실행 보안 메커니즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 메커니즘은 에이전트의 안전한 실행 보장과 기존 연구에서 고려되지 않았던 합리적인 에이전트 작업량 분배를 위한 로드 밸런싱으로 처리율을 향상되도록 하였다. 제안된 신뢰기반 에이전트 보안 메커니즘에 대한 보안 분석을 통해 이동 에이전트의 안전한 실행을 증명하였다.
