A mobile agent is a combination of program and data that can migrate automatically in non-trusted network to execute its task on the behalf of its owner. Mobile agent technology is a new paradigm in the field of distributed computing. In the present era, the use of mobile agent technology has increased exponentially because of its benefits, like less bandwidth, low latency, dynamic nature, etc. Insurance mobile agent’s security is a reasonably well-informed issue, and numerous suitable systems have been created to address it. But no system available to provide security to higher extend. A secret key management with cheating detection has been intended to take care of the issue of mobile agent’s security and its verification. During reconstruction of secret major issue was how can identify cheater identity. In view of the cheating detection method proposed based on the Shamir secret share and El-Gamal cryptosystem. Our proposed approach detects cheater group as well as identify specific cheater identity.
