Evaluating Security in Software Agent Systems using a Security Analysis Tool
John A. Page, Arkady Zaslavsky, Maria Indrawan · Epubl LTU · 2003
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.
