Mobile Agent and its security are first introduced in this paper. Fundamental to the mentioned communication security properties are issues relating to the identification and authentication of sending and receiving parties. A security authentication scheme for Mobile Agent of multi domain is provided and a detail description is given in the paper. The scheme is based on identity-based public key cryptography, so as to overcome some shortage posed by traditional authentication model based on PKI. The security of the scheme is also analyzed and it shows that the proposed scheme is secure and effective.
