Abstract :
Although Web based training systems are widely used today, security issues within these systems have not been sufficiently addressed. The author outlines the possible specific security threats of Web based training systems in addition to those of other Web applications. He proposes a new architecture as one possible way of addressing most of these security flaws that may deter both content providers (e.g. professors) and content users (e.g. students) from using Web based training systems
