In this paper we explore the approaches and problems of mobile agent system, which shows that layered security and bi-directional model, may be a good initiative to resolve the security problems in mobile agent systems. Other topics about mobile agent security, such as virus detection and constrained execution are also discussed. %K Mobile agents %K Security %K Bi-directional Security mechanism %K layered security mechanism. %U http://www.ijrte.org/attachments/File/v1i6/F0417021613.pdf
