El-Security: E-learning Systems Security Checker Plug-in

Integrating Information and Communication Technologies in learning process became paramount. Using e-learning systems, learning content can be delivered and shared in Internet. However, security of this type of systems is a challenge for developers and should be considered when developing e-learning systems. Different attacks could affect them since personal information of learners are used like authentication data. Other vulnerabilities of e-learning systems are relative to confidentiality, availability and integrity. In order to prevent, control and verify authentication attacks of e-learning systems, we propose in this paper a new methodology based on a security layer and implemented as a plug-in that controls, verifies and checks probable vulnerabilities of e-learning systems.
