| 1 | Design of a Fingerprint Biometric Authentication Technique for Electronic Examination |
The rapid growth of online examination using internet based tools in lieu with increasing reliance on technology and other shared resources has revolutionized the way authentication is being initiated and carried out in this information age. The unprecedented growth in electronic examination (e-exams) has underlined the need for more secure, faster and more suitable method of user’s verification than passwords can provide. Despite, the numerous advantages of biometric systems and its impact on various sectors across the globe, most users still face the issue of defining the right and accurate biometrics technology system in solving particular problems. This paper addresses the issue of accuracy by proposing an image enhancement approach that incorporates SecuGen fingerprint in conjunction with electronic learning environments to curb unethical conducts associated with electronic examination in a university environment. Minutiae points which are one of the unique features of fingerprints were extracted using the Crossing Number (CN) Concept by extracting the ridge endings and ridge bifurcations using the local neighborhoods of a ridge pixel from a 3 x 3 window. At authentication stage, the fingerprint is captured again with the extracted features compared with the templates stored in the database to determine a match before a student can login to write an examination. | Mohammed Babatunde Ibrahim, Abubakar Usman Othman, Olumide Sunday Adewale & Bukola Fatimah Balogun | Volume 8, Issue 2 | Journal Article | 2017-03-26 | https://www.ijcst.org/Volume8/Issue2/p2_8_2.pdf | |
