Abstract:
This paper presents an e-transactions protacol
using mobile agents. However, when mobile agents travel to a
number of servers for searching optimal purchase for the
underlying customer, the mobile codes should be protected.
We integrate a secure signature algorithm with the etransaction
algorithm to maintain the security. In addition, an
agent broker is involved in the algorithm, that will help to
reduce the communications among the mobile agents, the
customer, and the servers. We have presented security and
privacy analysis for the proposed protocol.
