An agent is a software package component that is autonomous with intelligence, mobility whereas having ability to collaborate well by alternative hosts and intelligent Agents. Agents hold responsibilities without constantly consulting the hosts with a dedication, on their behalf. Mobile Agents can effectively co-ordinate among agents, users and software hosts. A searching agent that is competent to retrieve preferred information on behalf of the users. The agent is sent away to carry out the look for off-line as well, after being told what to search for. A Mobile Agent is a software program which is generally written in scripting language. Mobile agent has unique ability to travel from one machine to another machine in a heterogeneous network to perform computational problem or gathering required information. The focus of this survey is providing Different Security Techniques that are proposed by many Researchers. Mobile Agents are capable of performing tasks which require plenty of configurations. These days, mobile agents are wide employed in variety of applications owing to their intelligence. Though they possess intelligence however exposing them to the distributed systems increase threat to mobile agent security. There are a unit variety of attacks that are known in mobile agent systems. We then give a detailed analysis of different techniques that have been proposed by researchers for preventing attacks as well as detecting them.
