The SeCode Approach: Towards Fault-tolerant and Secure Execution of Mobile Code

Yang, E.Y.; Xu, J.; Bennett, K.H.

Abstract

The dependability issue including fault tolerance and security is a basic stumbling block to the practical and commercial application of the mobile code technology. This short paper introduces the SeCode approach to fault-tolerant and secure execution of mobile code. The research focus is on the development of a method and an architectural framework to support mobile code against unintentional/intentional faults and malicious attacks from its operating environment. The proposed approach makes no assumption about the operating environment (i.e. remote hosts) for mobile code. It integrates work on fault tolerance and security within a well-defined formal system model, and offers a powerful ability to detect and identify faulty hosts and malicious attacks by means of redundant data structures with advanced fault diagnosis and cryptography techniques.
