Abstract This article analyzes the main security problems that current mobile agent sys-tems face with and existing solving methods, then a secure transport model of mobile agent based on hybrid encryption HESTM is brought forward. The model comprises two parts: (1) Using hybrid encryption encrypt mobile agent; (2) Using TLS encrypts communication channel. The simulation and performance analysis show that HESTM can eiRciently pro-tect the transport security of mobile agent indeed, thus enhance the security and robustness of the whole system. This algorithm has been successfully applied in authors developed prototype-mobile agent based intrusion detection system.
