This page summarized the Anchor Toolkit (A Secure Mobile Agent System) developed by Srilekha Mudumbai, Abdeliah Essiari, William Johnston of  Imaging and Computing Sciences Division, Ernest Orlando Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, University of California

Introduction: Mobile agent technology facilitates intelligent operation in software systems with
less human interaction. Major challenge to deployment of mobile agents include secure transmission
of agents and preventing unauthorized access to resources between interacting systems, as either
hosts, or agents, or both can act maliciously. The Anchor toolkit, designed by LBL, handles the
transmission and secure management of mobile agents in a heterogeneous distributed computing
environment. It provides users with the option of incorporating their security managers.
