Abstract

In the last two decades, Multi Agent System (MAS) has been used in diverse areas because of its tremendous capabilities; however, security and reliability issues are two major hurdles in adaptation of this paradigm in real distributed applications. Java Agent Development Framework (JADE) is one of the most popular frameworks used for the implementation of MAS, however, JADE has many security issues. To overcome these security issues Jade-S is proposed, however, it still has many security weaknesses. In this paper, we have proposed Encrypted Jade-S (eJade-S) for securing Multi-agent based applications. Cryptography new algorithm using two s-box for encryption / decryption is integrated in JADE-S to overcome the security issues. We have tested the proposed solution on large number of multi-agent based applications; experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed solution in securing multi-agent based applications.
