Abstract :
Common security problems when creating a new system range from basic browser authentication to physical access to servers. The security perspective in e-learning systems is often ignored, and this why this paper tends to emphasize common security issues when developing new Information Systems. We introduce a three layered security measure, such as: the physical control layer, the software control layer and the social engineering training. These three layers tend in various methods to secure users credentials and other data in the newly created Learning Content Management System (LMS).
