可信移动Agent的研究及在分布式网络管理中的应用

Research on Trustworthy Mobile Agent and Application in the Distributed Network Management

为解决分布式网络管理的安全问题,利用移动Agent框架作为底层平台,应用VMC概念将移动Agent和SNMPAgent相融合,构建一种基于可信移动Agent的安全体系结构。实验结果表明,采用此体系结构的网络管理系统能够确保移动Agent的可信性。因此,该体系结构在受到Agent到Agent平台或Agent到Agent攻击情况下的安全性得到评估,证明在网络管理任务中其性能是可信的。

In order to solve the security problems for distributed network management, we have developed a mobile agent-based architecture for network management. The mobile agent framework has been used as the underlying agent-platform. The VMC concept has been used for the requisite integration with SNMP agents. The results show that the network management system can assure the trustworthiness of mobile agents. Thus, security of the system has been evaluated under agent to agent platform and agent to agent attacks, and has proved trustworthy in the performance of network management tasks.
