Multi-User and Security Support for Multi-Agent Systems

This paper discusses the requirements an agent system needs to be secure. In particular, the paper introduces a classification of modern distributed systems, and examines the delegation concept from a security point of view. After discussing the peculiar security and delegation issues present in distributed object systems, mobile agent systems and in multi agent systems, a case study is presented, describing the multi-user and security support that is being built into the JADE platform.
