Summary
Nowadays the use of mobile code is widespread through computing scenes, e.g. in www and telephony applications. One of benefits of mobile code is to allow extensibility, where a piece of code migrates from a source node to a target node and gets linked to the run-time environment of the target to serve its purpose. Such an open characteristic of mobile computing introduces the main security issues: access control, privacy of data (secrecy), and availability. However, current systems and programming languages lack a theoretical base to identify and detect potentially malicious mobile software. This research proposal develops fundamental technologies to solve three security issues concerning mobile programs using well-defined mathematical models, typed calculi of mobile processes, and applies them to a mobile language design.
