A Multi-Layered Security Model for Learning Management System

A learning management system is a web-based software application that is used for the documentation, administration, tracking, reporting and delivery of training programs and educational courses. It is an efficient and effective way to give valuable information to the students in a short time. With the evolution of e-learning, the learning management system is widely adopted in the education sector as well as in corporate market. Thus, it became a valued target for attackers to focus their attacks on LMS platforms. Most of the popular learning management systems available now a day don’t pay enough attention to the security mechanism and that gives opportunity to intruders to gain unauthorized access by manipulating the security gaps and breach into the system. The result is information leakage, unwanted data deletion or modification and compromised integrity of the data. The aim of this research paper is to focus on the need of security concerns and to provide a solution that can make the learning management system secure from any possible potential threats and attacks. In this paper, a complete multi-layered security model is proposed. The implementation of proposed model will provide a very secure environment for any learning management system.
