Abstract :
As the world is becoming more and more flowing, networked, and composite organizations will continue to be more mobile than ever by. One part of the challenge for future mobile organizations is how can they communicate and exchange information securely within their clients, employees, and all other stockholders. Wireless communications offer organizations and individuals many benefits such as portability, flexibility, increased productivity, and lower installation costs. However, the joining together of information and communication technologies and increased reliance of organizations and individuals on such advances has caused a range of security issues to the face. Hence, wireless networks are open to intruders who may cause unwanted consequences to an organization and individualspsila information resources. The main aim of this research is to design a new model for securing mobile-phone learning system (SmLS), to protect the m-learning material from unauthorized distribution, to protect the e-course material from modified, and to make messages transmitted between communicators more secure and authenticated. The design of SmLS is provided to make the m-learning process more secure for both organization and students alike.
