Abstract
More recently, distributed variants of tuple spaces have been proposed to exploit the Linda model for programming distributed applications over wide area networks, possibly exploiting code mobility. However, the flexibility of the shared tuple space model opens possible security holes; it basically provides no access protection to the shared data. In this paper we investigate some possible scenarios where mobile agents can benefit from our cryptographic tuple space based framework, CryptoKlava, and sketch how to possibly implement such agents in order to keep the privacy of items collected by the mobile agent during its itinerary. The functionalities of the framework are general enough to be applied to other Java frameworks using multiple distributed tuples spaces possibly dealing with code mobility.
