Development and implementation of mobile agent security control mechanisms in the distributed multi-agent information systems

In this paper the main information security problems and kinds of threats of the open problem-oriented distributed agent-based information systems (OMAS) have been considered. Approaches to information security support (protection) in OMAS based on mobile agent security system with centralized and decentralized control mechanisms implementation and pro-active software components (agents) behavior simulation have been proposed. A formation method for complex self-organized mobile agent security system with decentralized security control in OMAS, based on public key authentication mechanisms implementation via certificate authority has been developed. The comparative research of the implemented mobile agent security systems subject to security control modes has been represented. The mathematical models of the proposed mobile agent security systems functioning performance evaluation indicators have been developed.
