“…Data in the form of text sent through digital assessment platforms are vulnerable to potential tampering from those who seek to access the contents of the data quickly, as digital platforms often do not apply additional layers of security, such as encryption, during the data transmission process [15]. Therefore, the idea of an assessment platform combined with cryptographic methods makes the integrity and security of the data in the transmission process more secure, as the encryption process is done before the data is transmitted to increase the security layer.…”

The use of digital platforms in the learning process is increasing, especially in the context of assessment activities. In this context, it is essential to realize that digital platforms can be subject to attack or fraud by irresponsible parties. It is due to the presence of sensitive data and/or restricted to a limited number of authorized persons. Therefore, the protection of data and its security in using digital platforms is very important. To enhance this layer of security in data protection, cryptographic methods play a crucial role in maintaining information security. By applying cryptographic methods to learning platforms for assessment purposes, we can increase the security and integrity of the data involved in the assessment process. This research aims to produce a plugin that can be used on a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS). This plugin will provide an additional activity in the form of an assessment activity with an essay exam type. When this plugin is used, all questions and answers will be encrypted into text that is difficult to understand by unauthorized parties when an attack attempt occurs. In this way, the learning platform for assessment purposes can safeguard and protect data from access by irresponsible parties.

“…A fim de trazer maior segurança às ofertas de curso na modalidade de EaD, mitigando os problemas mencionados anteriormente, são necessários mecanismos que tornem viável um processo de autenticação periódica e não intrusiva de usuários durante o tempo em que eles atuam nos AVAs (King & Case, 2014;Moten et al, 2013;Violettas et al, 2013).…”

Resumo A autenticação de usuário nos ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem (AVAs) existentes é, em geral, pontual e intrusiva, ocorrendo no momento em que o usuário Abstract The authentication of users on a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) is, in general, punctual and intrusive, occurring when the user connects to the environment, by typing his password. Such approach allows, after the initial login, that unauthenticated users take the role of authenticated users and perform tasks in the environment, causing, among other things, distortions in the perception about the academic performance of students. The objective of this work is, thus, to propose a mechanism to execute periodic and non-intrusive authentications of users in VLEs.The proposed mechanism uses machine learning techniques to build recognition models based on the keystroke dynamics of users and it is also independent of the used VLE. A prototype of the proposed mechanism, integrated with Moodle, was implemented and applied to a postgraduate course with seventeen users. The recognition models generated by the prototype in the case study showed a performance above 92% of accuracy, which is a positive indication about the viability of the utilization of the proposed mechanism.

“…Zuev states several categories of threats, such as unauthorized access (unauthorized copying and modification of data, physical access) and law violation (in particular, the laws governing copyrights and other rights) [5]. Still, quite low attention is paid to e-learning security in general [6]. It is stated that a significant number of e-learning platforms do not even have a basic policy defined at all [7].…”

The paper presents an improved e-learner model that supports monitoring of user behavior related to information security. The model is built upon standardized IMS specification, according to literature research and survey conducted among e-learners. It is positioned as key part of an extended LTSA architecture in which the learner data is used to improve learner security position by continuous delivery of important information and adapting security mechanisms. The implementation is considered in Moodle LMS.
