In particular, these requirements need to be satisfied by the Navy's Integrated Learning Environment (ILE) which comprises both a LMS and a LCMS. The problem today is that introducing authentication and authorization approaches within a single LMS or LCMS product cannot produce a scalable solution that applies to distributed learning environments that typically contain products from multiple vendors. To this end, this project will develop a standard framework that would allow the enterprise authentication management infrastructure (AMI) to be deployed in an efficient fashion to protect training assets and records and facilitate their audit. Phase I of this effort will establish the feasibility of applying standardized tokens to SCORM-compliant training packages and determine the access control and security scripting techniques needed for legacy DoD training programs as well as for new distributed learning programs. Benefits: Applications of the R&D include improved security and auditability of training content. Potential commercial applications are in the human resource management, pharmaceutical and medical manufacturing industries. Return
