Security considerations in agent-based systems
Abstract
Agent-based systems, despite their favorable abilities, also increase the connectedness and the complexity of the computing universe. As connectedness and complexity increase, new failure modes arise, some of which have security implications. These emergent security concerns are more speculative than the more traditional ones inherited from previous computing systems. This paper discusses a few of the possibilities.
