Information Leakage Prevention Model using MultiAgent Architecture in a Distributed Environment

Various cases of leakage of sensitive files such as confidential report and privacy documents of customers and staff have been reported mistakenly sent via email, leaked through unprotected USB Sticks and mobile devices. Multi-agent systems have experienced growing acceptance and importance as distributed systems become more widespread. The most common issues of this system are security in term of vulnerability of documents. This research address the security issues of a multi-agent in a distributed environment providing a data leakage prevention model that effectively control data leakage, data loss and data theft from an insider.

Multi Agent

For a new technology, such as that offered by intelligent agents, to be successful and widely accepted, it is necessary for systems, based on that technology, to be capable of maintaining security and consistency of operation when integrated into the existing infrastructure of an organisation. This paper explores some of the security issues relating to application of intelligent agents and the integration of such systems into existing organisations. First, existing information security issues for enterprises are considered. Then, a short introduction to the new technology of agents and agent systems is given. Following this, the special security problems of the new technology of software agents and the emerging risks for software and enterprises are discussed. Finally, a new security architecture for multi-agent systems is proposed, together with an explanation of how this multilevel architecture can help to improve the security of agent systems.

University Course

<p>A in a university setting, class scheduling is vital for teaching and learning process. Academic institutions rely on time tables in their day to day activities. University Course Timeframe problem can be resolved by using multi-agent systems-based method which may increase the independence of each department's class scheduling, adaptability in a distributed environment and prevents conflicts between events or resources, and unforeseen allocation through intervention between agents in a dispersed environment. Class timing is performed manually in most of the higher educational institutions, which is a very challenging and time-consuming process. The main objective of the study is to build a multi-agent class timing system that automates the process of class scheduling of higher education institutions (HEIs) using the Prometheus methodology. The implementation of the Prometheus approach in the development of a multi-agent framework has resulted in a complete and comprehensive system covering all phases of software development as applied to the agent systems.</p>
