Security analysis of an agent-mediated book trading application
Abstract
This paper presents a security analysis of an agent mediated application in an open distributed
environment. We use a case study of a book trading application that we implemented using
Agent scape and JADE agent platforms. The paper analyzes whether security requirements, threats
and countermeasures for an agent mediated application change when implemented on different types of
agent platforms and presents countermeasures to generic and application specific threats.
