Abstract

Although attacks from a hostile environment to mobile agents have been studied, there is still no formal classification of these attacks. This paper examines possible attacks and presents a taxonomy of attacks on mobile agents in a hostile environment. Our taxonomy is complete in the sense that any possible attack is composed entirely of elements classified by the taxonomy. First, a definition of attack is introduced. Then all possible attacks on mobile agents are classified. This taxonomy is used in the analysis of existing schemes and their appropriateness when applied to certain kind of applications. It is also helpful in directing new protection schemes for mobile agents.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
