Security Requirements for Mobile Agents in Electronic Markets

Abstract. In this article we identify security threats and requirements for software agent systems in the context of an electronic market. A short description of our own agent system AMETAS is given. It provides an infrastructure for a general multi-purpose agent system. We explain which security facilities need to be employed and how some of them were implemented in AMETAS.
