Abstract
Nowadays, mobility in data processing has started being approached and applied in several domains: collect of information, system administration, and intrusion detection system… Nonetheless, the implementation of mobile features has to be robust, simple, secure and easily understandable. Therefore, in our research -- based on the autonomous and mobile agent as well as the intrusion detection system -- we decided, in the first place, to build a mobile agent pattern in order to provide a clean and easy way to develop an agent based application; mainly in an open and on a large scale distributed environment, such as Internet and application areas and E-commerce, as well. In our study, we chose Java Technology for the implementation because it is more suitable, secure OS independent for the development of such kind of code; it contains also a security manager mechanism that is customizable by a host accepting a mobile agent. Thus, any attack or evasion method will not perturb the behaviour of the host. In short, the host will be safer. Besides, we used JINI (Java Intelligent Network Interface) as a usable API dedicated to a user protocol.
