Abstract
Processes that roam a network--agents--present new technical challenges. Two are discussed here. The first problem, which arises in connection with implementing fault-tolerant agents, concerns how a voter authenticates the agents comprising its electorate. The second is to characterize security policies that are enforceable as well as approaches for enforcing those policies.
