Abstract	Security mechanism of the mobile agent running platform is very important for mobile agent system operation and stability running. In this paper we mainly focus on the security issues related with the mobile agent running platform and we proposed a cross validation mechanism mixed with encryption algorithm to solve the security problems during the migration and communication of mobile agents. Firstly, we employ the cross-validation mechanism to authenticate the nodes mobile agents will be visiting. Secondly, we employ the hybrid encryption mechanism, which combines the advantages of the symmetric encryption and asymmetric encryption, to encrypt the mobile agents and ensure the transferring process of data. Finally, we employ the EMSSL socket communication method to encrypt the content of transmission, in turn to enhance the security and robustness of the mobile agent system. We implement several experiments in the simulation environment and the experimental results verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methods.
