ORGANIZATION OF PROTECTION OF KNOWLEDGE CONTROL RESULTS IN DISTANCE LEARNING SYSTEMS

This paper is devoted to the consideration of information security problems in distance learning systems (DLS), which are becoming widespread in the modern world of educational services, as one of the most effective and promising training systems. The basic information about DLS that exist in the Ukrainian and foreign educational markets is given. The general principle of application of such training, the main functional components and objects of interaction within the framework of DLS are considered. The basic problems of information protection in modern distance learning systems and threats from the point of view of information security for such systems are analyzed in detail, the main goals that an attacker may pursue while carrying out attacks on DLS and vulnerabilities due to which he carries out these attacks are listed. Threats and destabilizing effects of accidental nature are also mentioned. The most common DLS's are compared according to such key parameters as threats of corrupt registration and authentication, threats of reliability of knowledge control results and threats of malicious software implementation. The main focus is on the approaches to the protection of DLS
