Towards the Development of a Secure Cloud-based e-Learning System for Post COVID-19 Academic Institutions
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Cryptography
Abstract
The emergence of COVID-19 poses a threat to humanity, as this pandemic has forced many global activities to close, including educational activities. As a measure to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus and also ensure that students are not left without studying, education institutions have been forced to switch to e-learning using available educational platforms, despite the challenges facing this sudden transformation. Study have shown that the cheapest means to get affordable implementation of e-learning is through the use of cloud computing. However, data stored on the cloud suffers the risk of breach of confidentiality especially when Cloud Service Provider (CSP) choose to be dishonest. In this paper, the preliminary development of a secure cloud-based e-learning system is presented. The cloud-based e-learning system features security layer where data to be stored/retrieved on/from the cloud is encrypted/decrypted using a proposed cryptosystem. The system is capable of addressing real-world security challenges in cloud-based e-learning system.
