E-learning on Cloud using Advanced Encryption Standard

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Various benefits of Information Technology have created different tools that help learning at any place and anytime. As the technology is changing, education system also needs to be changed for faster, comfortable and easy learning. E-learning plays an important role in establishing a good learning environment and also provides learners with different background, preferences, and locations to optimize the quality of learning through the delivery of learning material. Cloud providers have platforms for users to design, deploy and run applications located in the cloud. Using this facility, we propose an E-learning web-based system using cloud, which is specifically targeted towards engineering students and teachers, who can upload the studying material of respective course which can be of any form such as text files, videos, audios. The students can access it from any location. We also provide test assessments for students who want to get through the mock and final examinations of their curriculum. The planned e-learning system includes the fringe platform on a web server for teachers and students. The proposed system provides additional concern of security for teachers as well as students. When teacher uploads data on cloud Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm runs at the backend. Similarly, when student downloads course material, security check is done using Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) algorithm.
