E-Learning, the new technology of supporting education and training, in recent times has been gaining a lot of attention. Content retrieval in e-learning refers the way by which the learning content is provided by means of electronic medium. It is an effective web-based learning paradigm, where many agents can be assigned with unique responsibilities to cope-up with the content retrieval by various users. Agent based system can manage the information stored in the e-learning environment, accessing and granting access permissions. Each task can be carried out by an autonomous agent and various such agents are grouped to form a multi-agent based system. Existing architectures do not consider the enhanced security measures, where it holds security as one among the agents. In the proposed architecture, security is enhanced at the network level and it wraps up all the other agents providing an enhanced security.
