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.
