Keystroke Dynamics in E-Learning and Online Exams

Abstract

In the internet era, the online examination has become an integral component of online processing and online learning. Student assessment in the online education system is submitted remotely without any face-to-face recognition and interaction. However, student authentication is the significant challenge in online education and examination. This chapter aims to examine various authentication systems, potential threats, and solutions to student authentication in the online examinations and learning. In this chapter, a keystroke-based authentication system is discussed for online examinations. Keystroke-based authentication does not require any additional investments as compared to the other existing authentication approaches such as face recognition, iris recognition, fingerprint, and so on.
