The issue of confidentiality, authentication, integrity and data non-repudiation in the multiagent systems

Abstract

The paper considers the issue of security of communication in multi-agent systems. JADE-S framework provides the appropriate tools to ensure security in a multi-agent system. It is recommended to implement security in multi-agent systems based on JADE. Aim of this study is to describe how appropriate levels of confidentiality, non-repudiation and data authentication can be provided. Moreover, we consider the possibility of negotiating an appropriate level of security and encryption algorithm.
