JCOP A Security Framework for JADE Intra Platform Mobility Over windows Operating System

Abstract

Mobile agent technology offers a new computing paradigm in which a program, in the form of a software agent, can suspend its execution on a host computer, transfer itself to another agent-enabled host on the network, and resume execution on the new host.

The JCOP is a security framework for JADE intra platform mobility; it consists of a set of agents that cooperate with each other to provide security for the platform, and a set of classes for programmers to integrate their work with JCOP access policy. This project aims to enforce security over JADE with the minimum amount of performance overload.
