Designing Ensemble Based Security Framework for Secure M-Learning System in Malaysian Higher Learning Institution
Sheila Mahalingam · 2012
Mobile Learning has a potential to improve efficiency in the education sector and expand educational opportunities to underserved communities in remote areas. However there are a multitude of challenges faced when introducing and implementing m-learning. It is possible that within 10 to 20 years there will be one global mobile campus. Very much unfocused issues are security management even though statistically proven that threats are increasing each day on mobile application and ensemble devices. This has been seriously discussed in many research that security need to bring in to the lime light of each complex and larger systems using variety of mobile devices that interconnected each other via internet or wireless environment. In order to provide a secure guideline for m-learning platform, an ensemble based security framework for mobile learning is designed and improved. One of the major benefits in the framework is it integrates the security with dependability to provide trustworthiness in learner and providers perspective. Besides that in also encompasses the suggested secure engineering model to be used in developing secure m-learning system which mapped with countermeasures and solutions to be used involving common threats and vulnerabilities in ensemble based m-learning.
