Abstract

Mobile learning (m-learning) has been realized as an efficient tool which has potential to enhance and support the traditional way of learning. However, due to increasing number of users, services, education contents and resources, how to deploy m-learning become problematic. There are many aspects for e-learning. Some of them are providing study materials, teacher student interaction, and timely distribution of information etc. Providing virtual classrooms with the help of multimedia technology is an advanced method in e-learning. In the area of e-learning an efficient way to provide effective e-learning service is through delivering video and audio contents online. The recent technologies like screen casting is an example to show how effective they are. The learning information such as video and audio of institution/individuals is an important asset. It means that the e-learning video and audio content should be protected in motion, in process and at rest when internet based e-learning system is used. Encrypt the data wherever it is in the cloud: at rest, in process, or in motion. Data doesn’t stay in one place on any network and this is especially true in case of data in the cloud based m-earning. Cloud computing is a promising technology to overcome the problems in m-learning and it provides reliable, customized and dynamic computing environments for end-users. In this paper we present a new and simple cost effective encryption algorithm (MBBXOR) as selective encryption for secure storing mobile distance learning content and streaming it in an extended cloud computing environment.
