EN This paper describes a proposal of a protocol for secure personal content delivery based on a cryptographic mobile agent. The proposed protocol allows a controlled and secured delivery of personal content (e.g., photo, text message, etc.) to the target device. Furthermore, the protocol is enhanced with time-based constraints in order to impose control over point in time when the content becomes available. The preliminary analysis of the protocol is presented and also some practical applications are discussed. The idea of cryptographic mobile agents is briefly explained to give the reader an understanding of the properties of such agents. The research is based upon leading agent standard, the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents, and the protocol is specified using Agent Unified Modeling Language. The paper also describes a prototype of mobile agent implementing the proposed protocol.
