Abstract
This article presents a discussion about security mechanisms in agent and multiagent systems. Presented discussion focuses on the design of an artificial immune system for intrusion detection in agent systems. An immunological approach to change detection seems very useful in design of security mechanisms for an agent functioning in his environment. Reasons for this expectation are the principles of a computer immune system such as distribution and autonomy. Mentioned principles of artificial immune systems are strongly connected with main principles of agent technology which are the autonomy of an agent and distribution in the case of multiagent system.
