Assignment is:
DQ1:One hot topic is the
building of tamper-proof software. What is your opinion? Is it possible in
practice to build such software even though the work of Barak et al. shows that
it is theoretically impossible? Indeed in their seminal paper, Diffie and
Hellman proposed building public-key cryptosystems using code obfuscation.
Another example related to this topic is mobile agent. Another example related
to this topic is mobile agent. Mobile agent is one of the most important
applications in this area. At some time people are thinking about building
mobile agent to buy the ticket for you. For example, if you want to travel to
NY, you initiate an agent from your computer, this agent will travel trough all
the travel agents computers, it will check the cheapest ticket and the most
convenient time according to your specification. After some comparison, it will
buy the ticket (otherwise, some other people may buy it and you may have no
chance to get that ticket when your agent comes back to that computer). This
means that the “agent” will make a LEGAL decision, which again means
it has to take your private key to sign the contract. Then you can image what
the malicious host can do to your agent.
You may aslo discuss the
whether we really need tamper-resistent software in our life.
