This paper prescribes an approach for providing a secure service in network environments by mobile agents (MAs) which are authenticated and protected by biometric information of their owners. By combining biometric information with shared secret information, a robust one-time key can be created to protect mobile agents and guarantees that they are totally belong to the agent’s owner. The MA stores his/her finger print information encrypted by the one-time key, and authenticated by a biometric certification server (BCA server) which manages the each agent’s SVM (support vector machine) classifier. The proposed security architecture would provide a mobile agent oriented secure service in the insecure network environments.
