Mobile agents are autonomous entities that handle tasks for their owner. Agents act on their own by reacting to changes and by planning their course of action. These agents can move from one server to another. In the future, agents will also be supplied with real money in some form to pay for resources or services.In this paper we discuss a dynamic security architecture, in which permissions are assigned in exchange for information (money). The decision as to which permissions are available, as well as how much they cost, is based on the source of the code, the owner/user of the code and what other information the agent is willing (or able) to provide.We discuss the advantages and limitations of assessing permissions in monetary terms, rather than binary granting or denial of permissions according to pre-set classes. A test-framework has been implemented using Java.
