The paper examines the existing researchers view on security measures on mobile learning. In general, it discovers related measure on security which includes reliability, trust, privacy and security itself. Each measure is widely used as determinants in previous studies and its range in some environments and perspectives. Reliability and security determinants are widely adapted to measure in terms of the infrastructure of mobile learning environment, while trust and privacy mostly measure behaviours and perceptions from the user or human towards mobile learning. Furthermore, the study will also investigate the infrastructure and components of mobile learning itself in order to determine the security vulnerabilities that may involve in the mobile learning environment. Other security features that are discussed at glance include the key distribution and management, information confidentiality and privacy, secure routing, intrusion detection, data integrity, entity authentication and secure data aggregation. However, at the end of this study, mapping on the relevent security measures with each component of mobile learning will be formulated for further study.
