eID in the e-learning Environment

Sammanfattning

At present, there are different Electronic Identity (eID) systems utilized in EU, resulting in difficulties to carry eID information and transfer eID data of e-learning systems from one EU country to another. A project entitled Secure idenTity acrOss boRders linKed (STORK) was launched to address this problem, by installing a Pan European Proxy Service (PEPS) server. Currently, Logica, a Swedish company, cooperates with Department of Computer and Systems Sciences (DSV) to implement the PEPS at DSV. This thesis aims to build various testing cases for the PEPS server installed at DSV. The PEPS is well-developed and separate packages working together with the Service Provider (SP) and Identity Provider (IDP) to implement its respective functionalities. The tests performed on PEPS are used to test the whole PEPS infrastructure: SP, PEPS and IDP, that is, the communication between these packages. The purpose of implementation of PEPS is to support the Ilearn@DSV to connect with STORK. Hence, the SP in this thesis is Ilearn@DSV system embedded with SP package. This thesis first introduces the background of eID, e-learning and the e-learning system Ilearn@DSV. Then, it describes the test hierarchy and test requirements, and completes data collection step. The details of various test cases are provided for the predetermined test items in test plans. Test plans and test cases must abide by the IEEE test format and meet the IEEE Standard 829-2008. Finally, test cases are validated against depth, breadth and effectiveness.
