Why Biometric Authentication Works In Fortifying Examinations

When it comes to keeping examinations secure from malpractices, one of the most essential pieces of security is in the authentication of candidates. Securing the identity of candidates, however, has come a long way from manually checking individuals to using advanced technology in order to assist in authentication. In the last decade, the biometric security system has become an important factor when it concerns multiple aspects of exam security. In fact, biometric systems can help with more than making sure that only authorised candidates can enter the examination centres by means such as – real-time detection, an automated attendance system, and an exhaustive report of the authentication process.

Our solution utilises a combination of physiological biometric systems capable of high accuracy. This combination of fingerprint scanning, facial features and iris patterns ensure that examinations stay secured against any form of malpractices. Some of the factors that advanced physiological biometric brings to fortify examinations are:

Security Assurance – Biometric systems offer an increased level of assurance in detecting the authenticity of an individual. By using physical features to authenticate individuals that cannot be changed deliberately to spoof the system, the process remains fool-proof. For instance, iris patterns remain the same throughout a person’s lifetime and can be used to authenticate individuals with high accuracy.
Manual checking on the other hand doesn’t offer the same level of accuracy. It is possible for the human eye to miss certain aspects that a biometric solution can detect efficiently. Enhancing the security process with the higher accuracy features of a biometric system helps to ensure that only authorised individuals are allowed.

Secure from transferability – It is possible for unauthorized individuals to enter an exam centre with the proper documents meant for someone else. When utilising only security personnel for detection, certain physical aspects can be missed in identifying any discrepancies. However, when it comes to adding a biometric system to the existing process, genuine identifiers are used to authenticate someone, which is not transferable between individuals.

Automated attendance – One of the features of a biometric solution is the automated
attendance system. It utilises advanced technology to keep a detailed record of candidate
attendance during exams, without the need for human intervention. While it is possible to
manually keep track of attendance, even small errors caused during a manual recording
process can cause problems down the line. With automated attendance, security can be
enhanced by ensuring convenient, custom-based, comprehensive report-creation and record-
keeping. This report creation works with real-time attendance management and centre-based performance tracking as well. This data is also kept highly encrypted to block any breach of data.

When it comes to securing examination centres, having that extra technological aid significantly helps in the long run. Biometric systems effectively work to strengthen security systems because they enhance the existing infrastructure. In a modern world, it definitely helps to cover all aspects of security, and our TRUSTview solution ensures all-around coverage when it comes to enhancing the security infrastructure efficiently.
