Abstract

Most schools have used information technology (IT) to enhance and advance their various educational methodologies to attract more learners. Institutions have implemented IT to facilitate E-learning and mobile learning, enhancing the cost and versatility of educational offerings. Most educational institutions are providing online instruction using technology such as cloud computing (CC) and networking. Educational institutions have established their own E-Learning Systems (ELS) to facilitate online learning, enabling remote education. However, ELS must confront several security concerns related to hacks and data breaches via unauthorized entry. Also, a novel idea of Internet-based ELS architecture has emerged to enhance service proximity to the customer. This research presents a novel CC and Internet-based ELS system. This study proposed the implementation of Integrated Encryption Methods (IEM), which incorporates two encryption algorithms, Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), to meet the safety and latency requirements for communication among the CC and the ELS. The suggested technique explicitly extends learning material from the CC to the network's boundary. It enhances the effectiveness of instructional data analysis, alleviates the computational cost of encryption on users' devices by delegating some of the encryption workload to CC servers, and offers limited access to educational material via the encryption of courses and examinations using IEM. Security research indicates that the proposed approach can accomplish information privacy, precise access management, and resistance to conspiracy. Performance studies illustrate the efficacy of the proposed framework, particularly regarding IEM computational costs.
