Abstract. Authentication plays a critical role in network security. After reviewing the prior studies, it is found that authentication system focusing on Learning Management System (LMS) based on cloud environment is very few. Majority of the prior security techniques applies conventional cryptographic hash function where enough robustness and resiliency towards various vulnerable attacks on cloud environment is substantially missing. Therefore, this paper presents a novel, simple, and yet cost effective authentication technique that uses the potential characteristics of recently launched keccak protocol by NIST for the first time in securing the accessibility of users in interactive digital library system. Hence, we coined a term S-DILS i.e. secured-Digital Interactive Learning System. The outcome of the system is compared with existing hash protocols to find that S-DILS excels far better in every respect of security.
