Abstract
Embodiments of a system and method for using mobile agents to gather trust information for evaluating trust in peer-to-peer networks. A peer node may launch a mobile agent on a network including an itinerary of peer nodes to be visited by the mobile agent and an indication of an area of interest. The mobile agent may determine if a visited peer node stores trust evaluations for other peer nodes as providers of codats relevant to the area of interest and, if so, the trust evaluations may be stored as payload data in the mobile agent. After completing the itinerary, the mobile agent may return the payload to the initiating peer node. The initiating peer node may use the trust evaluations collected by the mobile agent in determining or adjusting trust evaluations for peer nodes as providers of codats relevant to the area of interest.
