Abstract
User authentication in the online environment is promoting a hugely challenging issue. This has contributed to the realization of a user authentication where the exams can be performed over the Internet at any time and from any place and by using any digital device. Consequently, further investigations are required to focus on improving user authentication methods to enhance online security mechanisms, especially in the field of e-exams. This research proposes a new user authentication technique based on the user interface (UI). The novel idea is created based on the design preferences of candidates who are taking the e-exams. Several design features are used to design a special user interface for e-exams, for example, the font attributes, back colour, number of questions per page, group categories for questions based on difficulties, and timer setting. The introduced technique can be used to support the user authentication process in the e-exams environment. Furthermore, the proposed technique provides the ability to login to the e-exam without the need to remember the login information, but to select what the student prefers according to his/her personal information. Based on the literature review, a primary evaluation claiming that the students have differences in their preferences and that each user has stable design preferences within different sessions is revealed. In regard to these facts, they become the resource and essence of this research. The security performance of the proposed method is evaluated. The results of the experiments show a false positive (FP) rate of 0.416% and a false negative (FN) rate of 0%.
Highlights
DUE to the simultaneous growth of using the Internet; the learning style becomes able to be transformed from an old-style such as school rooms, classes, and institutes into a more valuable resource available at any time and at any place like e-learning systems
User authentication is a main important issue within the online environments making it one of the major aims of student authentication which is to make sure that an authentic user is one interacting with the e-exam
USER INTERFACE DESIGN The simultaneous growth in the production of computer technology and information including the usage of the internet has globally drawn attention to the significance of user interface (UI) [16,17,18,19,20]
Summary
DUE to the simultaneous growth of using the Internet; the learning style becomes able to be transformed from an old-style such as school rooms, classes, and institutes into a more valuable resource available at any time and at any place like e-learning systems. This is beyond physical limitations which is available remotely from dispersed geographic locations. In a recent report by Global Industrial Analyst, (2010), 107.3 billion dollars was expected to be reached in the E-learning market by 2015 Various disciplines such as colleges, universities, and educational institutes are likely to accept Elearning due to its ability to be accessible, updatable, available, usable, resource-efficient, and economical. Memory cards, dongles, and keys are common tools used in PBA [7]
