Abstract
This paper propose the technique for the execution authentication of digital signature with TTS(traceable trust server) to guarantee the safe execution of mobile agents. That is to say, it is focused on improving the processing speed of systems and the traffic of network which are problems in the existing studies. The digital signature is used to guarantee the efficient and safe execution and the integrity of mobile agents. The certificate of it is chained with synthesis function, cryptographic algorithm based on public key, and hash function. And white hosts can be protected against the threat of being used maliciously. Then, we prove the efficiency of system overhead and the traffic of network by the analysis. In case the certificate chain of a digital signature is used, the safe execution of mobile agents can be protected against attackers that wish to insert a newly created certificate after cutting off the chain after striking space key 2 times.
