Mitigating the mobile agent malicious host problem by using communication patterns

This paper seeks to describe an approach to mitigate the unsoluble malicious host problem.

By using obfuscation as a component of communication patterns and their switching in an environment of cooperating agents the malicious host can be detected and the attacked agents can be deleted.

Finds that the information about the detected malicious host can be used further, e.g. to prevent another mobile agent from visiting this host.

This paper will be helpful to people involved in information management and computer security issues.
