“…The Hippocratic database uses privacy metadata, which is defined as (1) external recipients, (2) retention period, and (3) authorized users. Mattson (2005) presents a scalable approach for data privacy and security in which a security administrator protects privacy at the level of individual fields and records and provides seamless mechanisms to create, store, and securely access databases. Such a model alleviates the need for organizations to purchase expensive hardware, deal with software modifications, and hire professionals for encryption key management development tasks.…”

Revolution in information and communication technology (ICT) has made a remarkable impact on the society. Countries across the world are using ICT to facilitate information dissemination and communication in all areas of education, training, and administration. In Indian education institutions, over the years there has been a rapid increase in the gross enrollment ratio (GER). The existing manpower in universities is unable to cope with the increased workload. To bring efficiency, accuracy, and transparency to the system, many Indian universities are using ICT in teaching, learning, and administration processes, and management of examination system is one of them. In addition to sharing information and infinite access, ICT has exposed certain security threats that were exposed by connecting to a large network. This paper discusses the importance of an automated integrated examination system in Indian universities vis-à-vis security threats. These threats can thwart the very purpose of ICT if left unattended. The measures to handle data are discussed, and network architecture is suggested to handle the examination of data to preclude security threats.
