Class DecentralizedAcquisitionMechanism

java.lang.Object

jadex.platform.service.security.AAcquisitionMechanism

jadex.platform.service.security.DecentralizedAcquisitionMechanism

public class DecentralizedAcquisitionMechanism
extends AAcquisitionMechanism

The decentralized acquisition mechanism is based on a peer to peer scheme. It asks all available platforms for the certificate of a specific caller. It then waits for the first n (acquirecnt) answers and checks if it received consistent results (all are equal). If this is the case it will deliver the certificate, otherwise an exception is raised.
