Abstract

Mobile agents (MAs) are processes which can autonomously migrate to new hosts. Despite its many practical benefits, mobile agent technology results in significant new security threats from malicious agents and hosts. The primary added complication is that, as an agent traverses multiple hosts, its state can change in ways that adversely impact its functionality. This paper deals with the implementation of dynamic threshold cryptography for securing the mobile agents. Threshold cryptography proved to be an effective scheme for key management and distribution. However it adds overhead to routing and increases traffic in the network. Due to bandwidth constraints and energy conservation, an efficient implementation of the scheme is critical. A new approach to reduce the overhead caused by threshold cryptography using QoS routing is implemented.
