The use of internet technology in teaching and learning is continuously expanding. The submission of student assessments and the administration of them are two of the most important aspects of online learning. The most difficult aspect of administering electronic assessments is verifying the authenticity of test-takers. Various researchers have proposed and implemented solutions that authenticate users mostly at the beginning of the session, and a few at the beginning and at the end of the sessions of electronic exams, which include a bio and multi-biometric systems. Many of such are still trying to achieve systems that cater for continuous authentication and are ideal for university centers. Thus, the purpose of the study is to develop a solution that will improve the level of security for identity and continuous authenticating students during electronic exams in a supervised environment.
