As configuration of network services is faced with wide-spread deployment problems requiring considerable human efforts and involvement, Mobile Agent based Network Management System become a central concern. Moreover, the recent developments in the area of mobile agent based network management and ever improving Java Programming language have provided important tools for designing Secure Mobile Agent based Network Management Protocol (SMAN). Again, a roaming agent on a network consumes significant network bandwidth which implies that their frequency and number must be regulated. In a sensitive and intelligent network where the Agent behaviour can be altered dynamically during the lifetime, the proposed system must be genuinely secure with less bandwidth overhead. So, it is necessary to design packet filtering and secure protocol using the modified multi-signcryption protocol for the purpose of efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
