Abstract:
This paper presents a security analysis of an agent mediated application in an open distributed environment. We use a case study of a booktrading application that we implemented using AgentScape and JADE agent platforms. The paper analyzes whether security requirements, threats and countermeasures for an agent mediated application change when implemented on different types of agent platforms and presents countermeasures to generic and application specific threats. Categories and Subject Descriptors: [Computer Science]: General Terms: Security Analysis, Agent- Mediated. View full Article
