Abstract :
This paper describes a fingerprint identification system (FIS) developed to be integrated in learning management system (LMS). Hence, a middleware is necessary to connect any LMS with our own FIS, which will provide us a scalable, robust, easy integration in any LMS. This project aims to solve the problems of identity authentication of users in remote or virtual environments whose use has spread both in distance education and traditional universities. It seeks its integration into traditional and remote environments, and in the remote environment in exams as well as virtual labs. The project aims to cover all the weaknesses that traditionally have the password or user name. The implementation starts from the own fingerprint identification system developed to its final integration in the LMS.
