  Abstract

Mobile agents based e-commerce system has many advantages than traditional e-commerce system because mobile agents can efficiently perform the core functions of e-commerce-information gathering on goods, price settlement and payment, delivery of the goods purchased, and so on. However, due to the security vulnerability that stems from mobile agent''s mobility, mobile agents based e-commerce system has additional security problems. Therefore, in order to do e-commerce securely in the system, first of all the security issues on mobile agents must be addressed. In this paper, we propose a mobile agent transfer protocol that provides confidentiality and integrity of mobile agent in transit and mutual authentication for communicating hosts. We further show the security of the protocol against many possible attacks. Also, we suggest the location management mechanism of mobile agents based on the trust center. This mechanism is capable of finding their locations transparently and detecting mobile agent clones.
