A Secure Communication Model for Voting Application Using Multiple Mobile Agents

Communicating with confidential data requires special attention in a MobileAgents environment, especially when the other hosts must be prevented fromeavesdropping the communication. We propose a communication model forsecured communication between the agents belonging to different entities for aweb based application like voting involving multiple agents. We have usedBRAHMS agent modeling, simulation and execution environment for thepurpose. Data confidentiality is ensured using our on the fly Encryption-Decryption sequence using ElGamal system. We also explain how thehomomorphic property of ElGamal scheme can be integrated with our model.Our minimal simulation results using BRAHMS give a faithful picture of the stateof the agents as they move around the different servers and exchange data withother agents.
