“…Other approaches focused on addressing the security issues for mobile agent systems. This approach, such as (Gray et al, 1998), focused on authentication to verify the agent's owners, authorization to assign access restrictions and enforcement to ensure that the agent does not violate these restrictions.…”

The purpose of this literature review is to provide the information about illustrating the usage of Multi-Agent System (MAS) techniques that can be beneficial in cloud computing platform to facilitate security of cloud data storage (CDS) among it. MAS are often distributed and agents have proactive and reactive features which are very useful for cloud data storage security (CDSS). The architecture of the system is formed from a set of agent's communities. This paper of literature review described on the theoretical concept and approach of a security framework as well as a MAS architecture that could be implemented in cloud platform in order to facilitate security of CDS, on how the MAS technology could be utilized in a cloud platform for serving the security that is developed by using a collaborative environment of Java Agent DEvelopment (JADE). In order to facilitate the huge amount of security, our MAS architecture offered eleven security attributes generated from four main security policies of correctness, integrity, confidentially and availability of users' data in the cloud. This paper of literature review also describes an approach that allows us to build a security cloud platform using MAS architecture and this architecture tends to use specialized autonomous agents for specific security services and allows agents to interact to facilitate security of CDS.

“…In this respect, refer to Section 4.1. D'Agents [35], an agent system that cannot necessarily exploit Java security, makes use of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) [36] to generate asymmetric RSA keys, though this results in a reduction in efficiency, as PGP is not tightly integrated into the system.…”

“…This framework will then be used to define some general attack classes, which can then be instantiated on particular systems. The definitions presented in this section were obtained by the analysis of a number of existing systems and their security models [8,9,12,14], as well as by the OMG's MASIF specification [10].…”

Abstract. The goal of mobile agent systems is to provide a distributed computing infrastructure supporting applications whose components can move between different execution environments. The design and implementation of mechanisms to relocate computations requires a careful assessment of security issues. If these issues are not addressed properly, mobile agent technology cannot be used to implement real-world applications. This paper describes the initial steps of a research effort to design and implement security middleware for mobile code systems in general and mobile agent systems in particular. This initial phase focused on understanding and evaluating the security mechanisms of existing mobile agent systems. The evaluation was performed by deploying several mobile agents systems in a testbed network, implementing attacks on the systems, and evaluating the results. The long term goal for this research is to develop guidelines for the security analysis of mobile agent systems and to determine if existing systems provide the security abstractions and mechanisms needed to develop real-world applications.
