Multi-agent systems (MAS) have been the focus of researchers because of agents’ habitual, hands-on, and active problem solving behavior. These systems provide and receive useful services and information in areas like e-commerce, healthcare and banking etc. However security of these systems is a major concern which could lead to many operational problems. In this paper security in multi-agent systems in a collaborative environment has been studied with an emphasis on stakeholders of the multi-agent system and the relevant security threats and opportunities.
