The platform of e- learning represents an attractive educational field where the acceptance or utilization progresses and more and more people are taking courses or training using this technology. Mainly, e-learning platform exploits Internet infrastructure which became location for illegal events and actions, es- pecially exposed to several kinds of threats or attacks. Furthermore, most of e-learning platforms are designed without taking into account security concerns. In this paper, we present e-learning environment, especially characteristics, development, growth, benefits and challenges. We also discussed and used TRI (Technology Readiness Index) which is considered a widely accepted me- tric for studying the behavior process behind the utilization of technological products and services. The results of the conducted TRI study demonstrate the need for a security scheme that incorpo- rates students’ behaviors and requirements for improving e-learning usage. For this reason, we develop a new security scheme that combines the use of information service management (ISM) and a hybrid algorithm for guaranteeing the needed security requirements. Finally, we demon- strate that our proposal can guarantee the suitable environment which provides students’ satis- faction and acceptance as well as e-leaning success.
