English Abstract

Recently, e-commerce had been widely spread, and anyone can buy or sell online a certain product or service anywhere.

As a result, this increased the need to find the best product with the best price.

All of these led to use mobile agent trade systems to perform this task.

Such systems should have the capability to act in behalf of the user and roam sites to find the list of goods or products with best price.

Unfortunately, a mobile agent system has some disadvantages, like being attacked by malicious hosts who try to steal and sabotage the mobile agent's data (the client credit card number for example).

Mobile agent system can be more successful and frequently used, if the security problems had been solved.

The security is the major concern for Mobile agent system especially when the money is involved.

Thus, we need a protection mechanism to ensure the integrity and safety of agent information.

In this thesis, an approach for protecting mobile agent had been designed, and a two-phase encryption protection application had been built using two cryptography algorithms: RSA & Elgamal.

The proposed approach has been implemented and tested.
