Security and Privacy Preservation for Mobile E-Learning via Digital Identity Attributes

This paper systematically discusses the security and privacy concerns for e-learning systems. A five-layer architecture of e-learning system is proposed. The security and privacy concerns are addressed respectively for five layers. This paper further examines the relationship among the security privacy policy, the available security privacy technology, and the degree of e-learning privacy security. The digital identity attributes are introduced to elearning portable devices to enhance the security and privacy of e-learning systems. This will provide significant contributions to the knowledge of e-learning security privacy research communities and will generate more research interests.
