“…Castella-Roca et al [6] discuss a secure exam management system which is claimed to provide authentication, privacy, correction and receipt fullness, properties that are described informally. Huszti & Pethő [21] refine these notions as security requirements and propose a cryptographic protocol that is claimed to fulfil the requirements, but the claims are only sustained informally.…”

Abstract. The main concern for institutions that organize exams is to detect when students cheat. Actually more frauds are possible and even authorities can be dishonest. If institutions wish to keep exams a trustworthy business, anyone and not only the authorities should be allowed to look into an exam's records and verify the presence or the absence of frauds. In short, exams should be verifiable. However, what verifiability means for exams is unclear and no tool to analyze an exam's verifiability is available. In this paper we address both issues: we formalize several individual and universal verifiability properties for traditional and electronic exams, so proposing a set of verifiability properties and clarifying their meaning, then we implement our framework in ProVerif, so making it a tool to analyze exam verifiability. We validate our framework by analyzing the verifiability of two existing exam systems -an electronic and a paper-and-pencil system.

Abstract. Relying on a trusted third party (TTP) in the design of a security protocol introduces obvious risks. Although the risks can be mitigated by distributing the trust across several parties, it still requires at least one party to be trustworthy. In the domain of exams this is critical because parties typically have conflicting interests, and it may be hard to find an entity who can play the role of a TTP, as recent exam scandals confirm. This paper proposes a new protocol for paper-based and computer-based exams that guarantees several security properties without the need of a TTP. The protocol combines oblivious transfer and visual cryptography to allow candidate and examiner to jointly generate a pseudonym that anonymises the candidate's test. The pseudonym is revealed only to the candidate when the exam starts. We analyse the protocol formally in ProVerif and prove that it satisfies all the stated security requirements.

Abstract-In some e-learning and blended-learning institutions, such as the Saudi Electronic University (SEU) in Saudi Arabia, prior to the students undertaking exams, the exam questions are distributed to and shared among faculty members. This is done by email which poses a high security risk. Hence, using email for the exchange of confidential files such as exams in learning institutions can cause the issues of latency, human error, and related security concerns. Therefore, this paper presents a system to secure the digital content of exam questions and their transmission in e-learning institutions, enabling the control of access to content with suitable management features for security, auditing, and archiving using leading technology solutions for content management and security. The results of our simulation showed that the proposed system provides a faster and more secure access to and exchange of exams between the instructors and the college and the campus supervisor. Moreover, our system reduces the likelihood that there will be errors in exams and subsequent delay.
