Abstract :
Security is a critical parameter for the expansion and wide usage of agent technology. The risks present during agent management, registration, execution, and communication are described. Subsequently the basic security services to deal effectively with these threats are identified. Security architecture in order to build a security service for Component Agent Platform (CAP) is defined. Agent authentication user protocol for inter-domain is described in more details.
