Abstract

This chapter discusses the security implications of virtual learning (VL) as a form of E-learning. It examines the authentication issues and methods appropriate for ensuring the integrity, confidentiality and availability of resources that supports e-learners, VL systems and tools.

It is the view of the authors that security issues have not been previously been given due importance when considering either the authentication of e-learners or within the theory of selecting appropriate VL systems.

The chapter is organized in four main sections: an introduction to E-learning and VL systems; the reasons and justifications for the need for authenticating both e-learners and VL systems; a description and examination of methods used in authentication; and a summary of proposed security methods for e-learners and service providers.
