Abstract
In this paper, a secure intelligent trade agent system is developed. In this system, an intelligent trade agent can be authenticated and supplied certain authorized agent execution environment for it to run by a host. The owner of a malicious intelligent trade agent is easily dug out. A host can only legally modify the information relative to it in the agent because the owner of the agent can be conscious of any little unauthorized modification made by any host. The secure intelligent trade agent system has two extra features: 1. The payment in the system is anonymous to servers (e.g., shops, companies). 2. It is convenient for the system to charge. So far, any security weakness in the secure intelligent trade agent system has not been found yet.
