Information Interoperability System Using Multi-agent with Security

Abstract

Recently, due to the interoperation of distributed information, the task and task analysis requiring the information connection in the distributed environment increases, and the decision support using the system becomes more important. As the centralized structure of the multi-agent based information interoperability system is composed of master and slave, it is vulnerable to impersonation attack, integrity, non-repudiation, and privacy security. Therefore, this paper adopted EMAF for information interoperability to propose an information interoperability system with security. In addition, to overcome the security vulnerability that may happen to the proposed system based on multi-agent, we are going to propose an agent mutual authentication method where certificates and session keys are combined together. When the proposed method is applied to the information interoperation between the national R&D report registration management system and the project management organization research report management system, not only the information interoperations in the distributed environment but also the safe information interoperability are supplied
