Abstract

Many safety problems are facing e-Learning portals (EP) developers to make it a trusted tool for e-Learning. The paper gives motivation of security implementation expedience for EP including a brief overview of typical attacks against EP. Further a generalised EP structure as a protection object is created and the key security requirements and functional security subsystem components of a secure EP are developed. In conclusion a real example of the secure EP on the basis of "DOCENT" distance learning system (DLS) by the Russian company UNIAR being used in the National Research Nuclear University «MEPhI» is shown.
