• Inter-agent communication for co-located agents: using proxy-based binding

• Remote communication with agent using RMI:

  • leakage of sensitive data via remote invocation
  • proxy interposition between remote caller and agent
  • the createRMIProxy primitive
  • proxy screens (authenticates) incoming RMI calls
  • security manager screens outgoing connections
