TY - JFULL AU - Omaima Bamasak PY - 2008/6/ TI - A Collusion-Resistant Distributed Signature Delegation Based on Anonymous Mobile Agent T2 - International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering SP - 1723 EP - 1730 VL - 2 SN - 1307-6892 UR - https://publications.waset.org/pdf/12636 PU - World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology NX - Open Science Index 17, 2008 N2 - This paper presents a novel method that allows an agent host to delegate its signing power to an anonymous mobile agent in such away that the mobile agent does not reveal any information about its host-s identity and, at the same time, can be authenticated by the service host, hence, ensuring fairness of service provision. The solution introduces a verification server to verify the signature generated by the mobile agent in such a way that even if colluding with the service host, both parties will not get more information than what they already have. The solution incorporates three methods: Agent Signature Key Generation method, Agent Signature Generation method, Agent Signature Verification method. The most notable feature of the solution is that, in addition to allowing secure and anonymous signature delegation, it enables tracking of malicious mobile agents when a service host is attacked. The security properties of the proposed solution are analyzed, and the solution is compared with the most related work. ER -
