Abstract

CapBasED-AMS is a capability-based and event-driven activity management system that is used to support many of the day-to-day workflow oriented activities. One of the major features of workflow systems is that they often use heterogeneous and distributed hardware/software systems to execute a given activity. This gives rise to decentralized security policies and mechanisms. In this paper, we focus on the utility of CapBasED-AMS in supporting secure electronic commerce activities and facilitating secure disconnected agent interactions. We embrace Smart Card and Java Card technologies to provide an architectural framework CAPEC (Card Agent Processor for Electronic Commerce) such as S-CAPEC (Smart-Card Agent Processor for Electronic Commerce) and J-CAPEC (Java-Card Agent Processor for Electronic Commerce) for the card event-driven activity execution. Further, we illustrate how secure disconnected task executions can be supported, and how agents can potentially down load task on to their Java or Smart Card and execute the task off-line.
