Abstract

Distributed multi-agent systems propose new infrastructure solutions to support the interoperability of electronic services. Security is a central issue for such infrastructures and is compounded by their intrinsic openness, heterogeneity and because of the autonomous and potentially self-interested nature of the agents therein. This article reviews the work that the FIPA agent standards body has undertaken to specify security in multi-agent systems. This enables a discussion about the main issues that developers have to face at different levels (i.e., intra-platform, inter-platform and application level) when developing agent-based security solutions in various domains.
