Abstract

This paper focuses on an efficient technology for implementing a Mobile Agent System (MAS). The mobile agent is able to hold consumers' requests, migrates between platforms and executes its code autonomously. The agent is required to return results to its owner, so he or she can make the right decisions. Kerberos protocol is one of the best known authentication protocols based on symmetric key. Kerberos is a trusted third-party authentication protocol designed to establish network security. In this paper, we propose a new protocol that is based on enhancements modification of Kerberos and is suited to provide confidentiality, integrity, authentication and authorization. A security analysis of the new protocol is also provided.
