Abstract
With the rapid growth in E-learning, Mobile learning (M-learning) is one of the most widely used ways in distance education compare to the traditional classroom environment. However, Mobile learning has accentuated the problem of data privacy disclosure and low performance. Blockchain is an important step in smart contracts with peer execution, immutability, and provenance may bring a new level of protection and confidence to M-learning. In combination with Trusted Execution Environment, we proposed a decentralized M-learning platform prototype within TrustZone technology for ARM devices where the learner identity key is encrypted and stored in Hyperledger Fabric with a peer-to-peer network. Our platform resolves the difficulties with privacy data in E-learning and reduced workload. An evaluation demonstrated that It is available to execute encryption algorithms in a trusted execution environment.
