Abstract
The data security of free-roaming mobile agent is a problem which hasn't been resolved to the mobility and inter-host mapping. totally, especially in theaspect of keeping away truncation attacks. Therefore, when the agent is utilized for user oriented applied technique, the secure execution guarantee of agent is essential. In this paper, it guarantees safe execution from security threats generated by malicious host during the agent's execution. And the secure execution guarantee mechanism of agent is proposed from favorable host is maliciously abused by attacker. Thus, the execution trace protocol mechanism proposed as secure mobile agents execution guarantee. As security analysis of the safety analysis.
