Secure Cloud SDN Educational Management with Internet + Learning Management System

Abstract

The education management model refers to the system and processes that colleges and universities use to manage and oversee their academic programs and operations. However, with the advent of digital technologies, there has been a growing trend towards the Internet+ college education management model, which integrates digital technologies into all aspects of college education management. This model includes the use of online learning platforms and tools, such as learning management systems (LMS), to deliver courses and manage student progress. It also includes the use of digital technologies for administrative tasks such as admissions, enrolment, and financial aid. However, the educational management model is subjected to the challenge of security for educational data management. Hence, this paper constructed a secure framework model of the Ethereum SDN Cloud Architecture (ESDNarc). The ESDNarc model uses the Software-defined Network (SDN) for the decentralized management of the network, secure transactions, and improved efficiency. The ESDNarch model incorporates the SDN with the cryptography scheme the secure the data. The constructed model uses the double-hashing Elliptical Curve Cryptography (DHECC) for the data stored in the Ethereum blockchain. The performance of the constructed model is evaluated with the KDD data set. Simulation analysis stated that ESDNarch significantly increases the data security in the cloud model for the attacks in the network.
