Using current biometrics technologies for authentication in e-learning assessment

This paper introduces current biometric technologies that can be easily used for advanced authentication methods for remote assessment in e-learning solutions. The focus is on technologies which are not expensive and can be used without any special equipment. The main inputs of the proposed biometric analysis can be camera, microphone, keyboard or mouse. All these input devices are usually present in personal computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones. Using these inputs the system can authenticate the user statically (during the login) or dynamically (during the assessment process). The important factor for practical usage is also the liveness detection to recognize a presentation attack or frauds reported for the specific technique.
