Paper Abstract:
|
Agent technology has an immense potential in e-commerce. Personalised mobile-agents could be despatched by users to
find and recommend products and services, negotiate the terms of transactions, and even make payments. However,
among the reasons for the technologys unmet potential are security concerns. In this paper, we propose the use of decoy
honey-agents to conduct transactions to monitor the actions of the agent servers towards the mobile-agent. Such
information can give an indication of the trustworthiness of agent servers. |
