Abstract

The paper analyses the security issues related to m-learning applications. The collaborative systems are classified, emphasizing on collaborative systems from the mobile learning field. The security of informatics applications is analyzed inside an m-learning system in order to reveal vulnerabilities of different applications. M-learning applications are tested in order to discover possible security vulnerabilities. Metrics are built to measure the security level of each application and to achieve the security assessment of collaborative-learning systems.
