  • Abstract
    The increasing requirements of education, reduction of study cost and no location limits study have encouraged developers providing e-learning systems. In E-learning system, identity verification of the learner is an important part of the operation of e-learning security. In this paper we combine mobile agent and e-learning system and define a new E-learning system which has a mobile agent named Client Agent and a static agent. The Client Agent works at the client, inspects the packets including the learner´s private information, signs the legal ones and guards them to the network server. So the packets can go through the network firewall without decryption. This system makes the learner´s private information safer.
