In this paper we establish the context of multi-embedded-agent systems, a kind of decentralized systems with autonomous embedded devices communicating and cooperating to achieve a common goal, and wide spectrum of threats that are posed to them as such systems can be vulnerable to attacks coming from the inside the system as of the outside and through a wide range of vectors from hardware to software weaknesses. We then try to establish a base of what would be a global security architecture for multi-embedded-agent systems to finally focus on problems rising from the use of cryptography (especially public key cryptography) in a decentralized environment.
