Implementation of security functions for 'FIPA-OS' agent platform

摘要

Recently, mobile agent technologies have been actively discussed and researched. FIPA (Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) is one of organizations, which standardize agent technologies in general. Although several standardized documents have been already produced in many areas of agent technologies in FIPA, their security functions have not been satisfactorily discussed. In this paper, we design security functions of FIPA architecture, implement to "FIPA-OS", and finally evaluate their feasibility. We believe hat our proposed security functions and their implementation method can be a valuable security framework for FIPA activities.
