Asynchronous examination security system using Ear Visual Biometric for college students

This study explores the use of an Ear Visual Biometric as a security measure to at least minimize identity theft in asynchronous examination. With the aid of the system, users make use of ear biometrics for user identification and password for user authentication. Users are identified based on the uniqueness of their ear structure thus limiting the chance of identity fraud. Ear detection and recognition is achieved through the use of Principal Component Analysis and Feature Extraction approaches.
