چکیده (انگلیسی):

In a learning environment, a low student-lecturer ratio is
considered a practical solution by many educational institutions.
However, the number of students in information technology is
increasing every year. This could lead to a significant increase in the
workload of lecturers, who need to evaluate assignments, quizzes and
projects. Hence, it is desirable that an automated assessment tool is used
to lessen their workload. In the era where mobile devices are getting
popularity, the high demand to execute suitable quality code is there and
the cost is on the processing power of the CPU which has a direct
implication on the power source or the battery used. With various
implementations of cryptography algorithms available, many of them
could satisfy different level of needs. In this research, we introduce the
architecture for a multi-layered security of automated assessment of
programming code. First, we review the existing research studies in the
area. We describe the features of the tool, as part of a complex elearning
environment. We also discuss the implementation of security,
to protect data transmission and storage used by the tool. Challenges the
system might face and the potential solutions, are also described.
