Abstract
Services being developed by the EU Agentcities project require, and would benefit from having security. This paper focuses on analysing and specifying agent security services for an Agentcities e-Banking service. In this version of the service we have defined a set of requirements for core, general and Multi-Multi Agent Systems (MMAS) scenarios to support confidentiality, integrity, and authentication interactions. We have applied an Abstract Security Model for mapping relationships between Assets, Safeguards, and Threats. Profiles define the mapping between these entities in order to meet the system requirements and policies represent collaboration rules to achieve the goal of meeting the requirements. Consequently, the Security Model implementation in this scenario has demonstrated that agent based commerce services are plausible in MMAS environments.
