Continuous Biometric User Authentication in Online Examinations
Eric Flior, Kazimierz Kowalski · 2010
Online examinations pose a unique problem for distance-based education, in that it can be very difficult to provide true user authentication. Due to the inherent anonymity of being online, compared to taking an examination in a classroom environment, students may attempt to artificially boost their scores in online examinations by having another individual take the exam for them, which a typical user/password authentication scheme cannot detect. This paper discusses and presents a method for providing continuous biometric user authentication in online examinations via keystroke dynamics.
