Evaluating security in software agent systems using a security analysis tool

This paper exposes different security threats posed to information in software agent systems. It describes various scenarios in which security can be compromised and highlights the requirements of a standard security-testing environment. This environment is generated using a Security Analysis Tool (SAT) proposed and described in this paper. The tool also fills in the requirement of a much-needed benchmarking function for the security implementations of different mobile agent systems.Upprättat; 2003; 20080222 (ysko
