Ensuring Data Security & Consistency in FTIMA - A Fault Tolerant Infrastructure for Mobile Agents

Overview

Transaction management is one of the most crucial requirements for enterprise application development which often require concurrent access to distributed data shared amongst multiple application / nodes. Transactions guarantee the consistency of data records when multiple users or processes perform concurrent operations. Existing Fault Tolerance Infrastructure for Mobile Agents (FTIMA) provides a fault tolerant behavior in distributed transactions and uses multi-agent system for distributed transaction and processing. In the existing FTIMA architecture, data flows through the network and contains personal, private or confidential information. This paper has modified FTIMA architecture to ensure that the user request reaches the destination server securely and without any change.
