As electronic attendance systems are increasingly used, security threats are also increasing.With the recent introduction of an electronic attendance absence recording system at universities to emphasize the reliability and accuracy of attendance management, illustrations of the system's practical use in the academic administration business are increasing.The existing electronic attendance systems were mainly operated for large-scale lectures with a large number of students.The systems, which were initially intended to resolve the inconvenience of handling many students' attendance within a certain time period, are currently being used in various ways.The currently used electronic attendance-absence recording system is classified into the following technologies: smartcard-based, location-based beacon, smartphone-related phone-tophone-based, and quick-response-code-based electronic attendance-absence recording systems.But, most of these attendance management applications have many security threat elements as security inquiry has not been conducted properly.In particular, the commonly used beacon-based electronic attendance-absence system uses mobile phones, beacons, and Bluetooth, and therefore is at a risk of many elements whose security safety has not been properly examined.The current study aims to support a safer electronic attendance-absence recording system by performing the security check of operation cases of such systems managed by universities and systematically analyzing the trend of security threat in these systems.
