There are many information assurance schemes(i.e., evaluation criteria and methodology) for security assurance of information systems, since the security is one of the most important characteristics in the modem information systems. However, there are confusions among schemes and redundancies of assurance. In this paper, we survey and classify conventional information assurance schemes by view points of assurance targets, life-cycles and nations. We propose three new information assurance schemes as the result of survey. Those are as follows: the schemes of the assurance on the requirement itself which is evaluated and certificated after standardizing the security requirements about the organizations and the applications, on the developing information system, and on the accreditation and certification about new information system. This will be helpful to set up a security assurance of National Defense.

The e-Learning quality assurance is a part of responsibility for education in latest information age, and should be understood as a basic direction for qualitative enhancement rather than quantifiable expansion. In such a context, this study sought to survey latest trends of e-Learning quality assurance activities deployed around overseas countries, so that it could give possible implications on how to plan and perform e-Learning quality assurance in Korea. So, this study focused on surveying actual conditions, coverage, target and useful indices of e-Learning quality assurance activities deployed by 9 institutions across 5 countries, and characterizing those activities across 5 countries. As a result, this study could find out its implications such as acquisition of various resources available for e-Learning, nationwide consolidation of e-Learning quality assurance activities, development of specialists in e-Learning quality assurance, and choice and focus for e-Learning quality assurance system. In other words, it was found that e-Learning quality assurance should be approached from nationwide standpoint in the interest of better educational quality, rather than from viewpoint of task.
