Abstract
Modern communication and computing devices have the potential to increase the efficiency of disaster response. Mobile agents are a decentralized and flexible technology to leverage this potential. While mobile agent platforms suffer from a greater variety of security risks than the classic client-server approach, Trusted Computing is capable of alleviating these problems. Unfortunately, , a core concept of Trusted Computing, requires a powerful networked entity to perform trust decisions. The existence and availability of such a service in a disaster response scenario cannot be relied upon.
