A High Security Distance Education Platform Infrastructure Based on Private Cloud

This paper aims to avoid the tampering or leakage of sensitive data in a distance education platform. To this end, an intelligent identity authentication model was proposed to realize continuous user authentication, and high security infrastruc-ture was designed for distance education platform based on the proposed model. The experimental evaluation shows that the proposed infrastructure based on pri-vate cloud can greatly improve the security of distance education platform. Suf-fice it to say that the research findings provide new insights into the security of distance education.
