Abstract
Multi-agent systems (MASs) are a powerful paradigm enabling effective software engineering techniques: yet, it easily lets the designer be oblivious of the emergent security problems. This can be a critical issue, especially when MASs are exploited as an infrastructure to provide secure services. This paper performs a security analysis of such a scenario, identifying threats and assessing risks that could interfere with the achievement of the application goal – e.g. access control – as a consequence of its MAS-based implementationI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
