Abstract:
Nowadays, open systems require more flexibility and efficiency in order to succeed the communication and
interaction among various components, particularly, concerning security problem. This latter is considered
as a major driver for the success of E-business, especially in B2B environment with heterogeneous open
services.
Th
e mobile agent security problem limits the use of mobile agent technology and hinders its extensibility
and its application. Since the increasing of complexity and extension at system and applications level
increase the difficulty to implement a common security system and security policy in advance.
Ontology is considered among the most important solution to heterogeneity, as it offers a shared
knowledge which is able to prevent communication and interaction failure among mobile agents, this
failure is due to their heterogeneous security properties.
Our main aim, in this research work, is to build ontology for the security domain, and its application to
mobile agents following a building process based on the information concerning the security properties
and procedures used by mobile agent and host.
