SECURE EXAMINATION WITH TIMELY AUTOMATED AUTHENTICATION

Abstract

Today there are two forms of examination: Online Examination (M-learning) and Offline Examination.
Mobile learning, or “M-learning”, offers modern ways to support learning process through mobile devices such as
tablet, computers and smart phones. Mobile learning can be used to enhance the overall learning experiences of students
and teachers. However, enforcing exam security in open environments where every student has his/her own tablet or
mobile devices connected to a Wi-Fi network can be one of the most challenging tasks. The existing system was not based
on Service oriented architecture and was using a bulk of PHP code which had been a bit slow and cannot address the
exam security issues that exist in m-learning environment. The proposed system aims to recognize various vulnerabilities
that may violate assessment safety in M-learning setting and to deal the security and countermeasures that can be put in
to make sure exam safety by using a QR code generated for every student. It also aims to integrate the resultant secure
exam system with an obtainable, open source and widely conventional Learning Management System (LMS). Further we
are using NPL for verifying the answers which has reduced the overall efforts of human beings. The backend of this
project would be in MySQL. The front end would be in JAVA and Android which has improved the performance.
