Towards improved trust and security in FIPA agent platforms
نویسندگان
چکیده
FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) specifications are being proposed as the open standards for heterogeneous agency interaction. We examine the notions of trust and security inherent in the core or normative FIPA specifications and in the existing preliminary security specifications. We highlight its strengths and weaknesses and discuss the steps needed to improve security in the FIPA agencies.

Security Issues in FIPA Agents
FIPA is one of the main standards available within the software agent domain today. Software agents are based on the distributed intelligent agent domain, and are a multi-agent system. FIPA operates in an open environment that opens up for security issues, such as the problem of authentication of agents, securing communication, and preventing unauthorised activity from hackers or malevolent age...

متن کاملFIPA-based Interoperable Agent Mobility Proposal
This paper presents a proposal for a flexible agent mobility architecture based on IEEE-FIPA standards and intended to be one of them. This proposal is a first step towards interoperable mobility mechanisms, which are needed for future agent migration between different kinds of platforms. Our proposal is presented as a flexible and robust architecture that has been successfully implemented in t...
متن کاملA Delegation Based Model for Distributed Trust
In this paper we outline an infrastructure that facilitates security and trust management in a multi-agent system. Our model eases the problem of authorization in a network of heterogeneous agents and also contains mechanisms for delegation of authorization information. The framework allows agents to exchange trust information using a series of Interaction Protocols based on FIPA (Foundation fo...
متن کاملSecurity in Multi-Agent Systems: JADE-S goes Distributed ABSTRACT - SECURITY IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR ANY SYSTEM USED IN COMMERCIAL
SECURITY IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR ANY SYSTEM USED IN COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS. DISTRIBUTED AND DYNAMIC SYSTEMS RAISE NEW ISSUES CONCERNING PERFORMANCE, SCALABILITY AND SECURITY MANAGEMENT. DISTRIBUTED MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS, LEVERAGING AGENT’S AUTONOMY AND MOBILITY, REQUIRE EVEN GREATER ATTENTION TO SECURITY ISSUES. THEREFORE AGENT PLATFORMS MUST PROVIDE POWERFUL AND FLEXIBLE SECURITY MECHANISMS ...
