Popis: Security issues are key factors for the deployment and acceptance of agent based systems in the telecommunication area. This fact is most obvious in electronic commerce applications, where security services have to be offered. These services are needed to ensure secure communication, fair exchange of goods and payment. Public key cryptography techniques are an often employed mechanism. Keys are distributed by using a certificate to store them and to provably associate them to a principal. This document deals with the design of an agent-based certificate authority (CA) and key distribution center (KDC).
