Mobile agent technology has been the subject of much attention in the last few years, mainly due to the proliferation of distributed software technologies combined with the distributed AI research field. In this paper, we present a design of communication networks of agents that cooperate with each other for forwarding messages to the specific mobile agent in order to make the overall system location transparent. In order to make the material accessible to general intelligent system researchers, we present the general ideas abstractly in terms of the graph theory. In particular, a proxy network is defined as a directed acyclic graph satisfying some structural conditions. In turns out that the definition ensures some kind of reliability of the network, in the sense that as long as at most one proxy agent is abnormal, there agent exists a communication path, from every proxy agent to the target agent, without passing through the abnormal proxy. As the basis for the implementation of this scheme, an appropriate initial proxy network is specified and the dynamic nature of the network is represented by a set of graph transformation rules. It is shown that those rules are sound, in the sense that all graphs created from the initial proxy network by zero or more applications of the rules are guaranteed to be proxy networks. Finally, we will discuss some implementation issues.

C. Gamage 등은 M. Mambo 의 대리 서명 방시과 Y. Zheng의 signcryption 방식을 이용하여 사용자가 상대 적으로 계산 능력이 뛰어난 서버에 의존하여 암호화 및 서명을 생성할 수 있는 proxy-signcryption 방식을 제안하였다 그러나 그들이 제안한 방식을 실제 응용에 적용할 경우 사용자가 proxy agent를 대신하여 정당한 proxy-signcryption을 생성할 수 있을 뿐만아니라 자신이 전송한 메시지에 대해 부인하는 경우 리를 판단할 수 없으므로 proxy agent를 보호 할 수 없다는 문제점이 있다 따라서 본 논문에서는 대리인 보호형 대리 서명 방식과 N. Asokan 의 S3(Server Supported Signnatures)를 이용하여 proxy agent를 보호할 수 있고 송신자 부인 봉쇄를 제공하여 실제 응용에 적용할 수 있는 proxy-signcryption 방식을 제안하고자 한다. 또한 본 논문에서 제안하는 proxy-signcryption 방식은 한국형 디지털 서명 표준안인 KCDSA(Korean Certificate-based Digital Signature Algorithm)를 이용한다.

In this paper, on the basis of Guilin Wang's proxy signature scheme and the Schnorr blind signature, we propose a secure proxy blind signature scheme. A proxy blind signature scheme is a digital signature scheme which combines the properties of a proxy signature and a blind signature scheme. Guilin Wang proposed a provably secure proxy signature scheme, which is based on a two-party Schnorr signature scheme. Also, using the proposed proxy blind signature scheme, we propose the proxy agent system for the electronic voting. We show the proposed scheme satisfies the security properties of both the blind signature and the proxy signature scheme and is efficient and optimal proxy blind signature scheme.

According to the development of mobile communications, the future mobile communication systems are expected to provide high quality multimedia service to users. Therefore, many technical factors we needed in these systems. Especially the confidentiality and the security would be obtained through the introduction of the security for mobile communications. In this paper, we propose an efficient Proxy-Signcryption scheme, which can be performed digital signature and encryption by using the proxy agent who has more computational power under mobile communications environment. The proposed scheme provides non-repudiation and prevents creating illegal signature by the origin and proxy agent in a phase of proxy signature processing. This scheme also keeps the confidentiality and the security in mobile communication by means of confirming the signature by right receiver.

As the distributed resources in the networks have become increasingly popular, the accesses to these resources having been activated. Especially, the accesses to the distributed resources using the mobile agent technologies provide the mechanisms supporting mobility with mobile users as well as the dynamic accesses to the resources in the fixed networks. Proxy-based mobile agent model is defined as mobile agent network model which allocates the hierarchical domains to the distributed resources changed dynamically, assigns one proxy server for each domain, and promotes the management and the cooperation of the mobile agents. In this paper, we introduce the architecture and the execution scenario for proxy-based mobile agent model which is suitable for the hierarchical management domains. In simulation, we evaluate the proxy server's route optimization functionality and the performance reducing execution time of the mobile agents.

As a user in modern societies with the rapid growth of Internet environment and more complicated business flow processes in order to be effective at work and accomplish things on time when the manager of the company went for a business trip, he/she need to delegate his/her signing authorities to someone such that, the delegatee can act as a manager and sign a message on his/her behalf. In order to make the delegation process more secure and authentic, we proposed a secure and efficient identity-based proxy signcryption in cloud data sharing (SE-IDPSC-CS), which provides a secure privilege delegation mechanism for a person to delegate his/her signcryption privilege to his/her proxy agent. Our scheme allows the manager of the company to delegate his/her signcryption privilege to his/her proxy agent and the proxy agent can act as a manager and generate signcrypted messages on his/her behalf using special information called "proxy key". Then, the proxy agent uploads the signcrypted ciphertext to a cloud service provider (CSP) which can only be downloaded, decrypted and verified by an authorized user at any time from any place through the Internet. Finally, the security analysis and experiment result determine that the proposed scheme outperforms previous works in terms of functionalities and computational time.

Based on the development of mobile communication, the future mobile communication systems are expected to provide higher quality of multimedia services for users than today\`s systems. Therefore, many technical factors are needed in this systems. Especially the secrecy and the safety would be obtained through the introduction of the security for mobile communication. In this paper, we presents a digital nominative proxy signature scheme that processes a user\`s digital signature and encryption using the proxy-agent who has more computational power than origins in mobile communication. The proposed scheme provides non-repudiation and prevents creating illegal signature by the origin and proxy-agent in a phase of proxy signature processing. Also this scheme satisfies the confidentiality and safety in the mobile communication through a confirming signature by the right receiver.

According to the development of mobile communications, many people have been offered high qualify of the application services using portable terminals. But those works nay have many vulnerabilities and have the limit of excutaions. Because the application services are provided in mobile network and the performance of portable terminals is lower than that of base stations. To improve these problems, in this paper, we propose one-time proxy signature scheme that can reduce the computational ctsost on a user and prevent a proxy agent's dishonesty. The proposed scheme is based on the KBLK scheme [2] which applied the fail-stop signature scheme [1]. It is constructed that a proxy signer can sign only one message with a proxy key and we add anonimity to it for the user's identity protection in mobile communication like a M-commerce.

Mobile Agent is a movable software program that autonomously runs on behalf of its operator in a network environment. It has been widely applied to various kinds of computer engineering. In this paper, a network management architecture using the mobile agent technology in the distributed network environment is proposed. After manager system creates the mobile agent, it searches a proxy, a distributed object that acts as the substitute for a SNMP agent. In order to get the management information that manager requires, the mobile agent goes to the proxy and does operations on it. So, only the concise results from the operation are sent to the managing system. The proposed architecture is based on CORBA that provides several transparent characteristics in the distributed environment. In additional, the proxy object that represents the SNMP agent enables the mobile agent and the SNMP agent to converse with themselves. In this architecture, the mobile agent can carry out an automated management function, easily change and modify management functions. Therefore, it can provide an efficient management way.

디지털 서명과 암호화를 동시에 수행할 수 있는 Signcryption 방식이 Zheng에 의해 제안되었다[1]. 그 후, 서명과 암호화에 요구되는 작업을 상대적으로 성능이 뛰어난 서버에 의뢰 가능하도록 하는 Proxy-Signcryption을 이동통신 환경에 적합하도록 개선한 방식이 제안되었다[2]. 그러나 개선 방식은 효율성과 forword secrecy는 제공하지만 대리자의 부정은 방지할 수 없어 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대리자가 부정하였을 경우 대리자의 개인키가 노출되도록 한 안전한 Proxy-Signcryption 방식을 제안한다.
