Authentication for clone cyber-entities in Bio-net environments

Abstract

For mobile agent systems, some mechanisms have been proposed for authenticating mobile agents and execution environments. But, most current mobile agent systems don't have the Bio-net concepts such as autonomous replication or reproduction of the mobile agents or cyberentities. In the Bio-net environments many cyber-entities can be created dynamically by the replication or reproduction mechanisms, and tor security sensitive applications, the cyber-entities should be registered by on-line mechanisms for authentication afterwards. Also, there should be a peer-peer authentication mechanism for cyber-entities in the system that can be performed efficiently. For the authentication of cyber-entities in the Bio-net platform, we will propose necessary components to be included in security architecture and some mechanisms for authenticating them.
