The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of security issues facing mobile agentsystems, and discuss ways of responding to them. We explore the state of the art, to assess if it is mature enough for use in real-life security-critical applications like contract signing or electronic transactions. (original abstract)

Celem niniejszej pracy jest dokonanie przeglądu problemów bezpieczeństwa systemów mobilnych agentów, jak również niektórych metod radzenia sobie z nimi. Dokonaliśmy przeglądu aktualnego stanu wiedzy, by ocenić, czy jest wystarczająco zaawansowany, aby sprostać zastosowaniom, dla których bezpieczeństwo jest warunkiem sine qua non (takim jak podpisywanie kontraktów lub elektroniczne pieniądze). (abstrakt oryginalny)
