ABSTRACT = { Currently, the majority of institutions have made use of information 
technologies to improve and develop their diverse educational methods to attract 
more learners. Through information technologies, e-learning and learning-on-the
go have been adopted by the institutions to provide affordability and flexibility of 
educational services. Most of the educational institutes are offering online 
teaching classes using the technologies like cloud computing, networking, etc. 
Educational institutes have developed their e-learning platforms for the online 
learning process, through this way they have paved the way for distance learning. 
But e-learning platform has to face a lot of security challenges in terms of 
cyberattacks and data hacking through unauthorized access. Fog computing is one 
of the new technologies that facilitate control over access to big data, as it acts as 
a mediator between the cloud and the user to bring services closer and reduce their 
latency. This report presents the use of fog computing for the development of an 
e-learning platform. and introduced different algorithms to secure the data and 
information sharing through e-learning platforms. Moreover, this report provides 
a comparison among RSA, AES, and ECC algorithms for fog-enabled 
cybersecurity systems. These Algorithms are compared by developing them using 
python-based language program, in terms of encryption/decryption time, key 
generations techniques, and other features offered. In addition, we proposed to use 
a hybrid cryptography system of two types of encryption algorithms such as RSA 
with AES to fulfill the security, file size, and latency required for the 
communication between the fog and the e-learning system. we tested our proposed 
system and highlight the pros and cons of the Integrated Encryption Schemes by 
performing a testbed for e-learning website scenario using ASP.net and C#.},
