Abstract: Future inter-networking environments will involve extensive interaction between multiple servers, users and their agents. Currently, numerous forms of trusted network environments facilitate the use of agents. Corporate intranets, secure extranets, B2B partnerships, and collaborative e-marketplaces are just a few examples. Although these environments presume trust, they still provide considerable risk to privacy and liability exposure to all parties involved. Therefore, it will be imperative that intelligent agents act according to the desired intentions of the agents’ owners who develop and introduce them. The XML-based protocol presented in this paper provides a practical approach to the provision of such compliance. Agents, if embedded with these protocols, will demonstrate behavior consistent with the desired privacy posture of the owner along several key continua, while still maintaining an autonomous nature.
