Abstract
The major technique for admitting students to an examination over the years has been through the presentation of a token. The student possesses a physical and portable device which contains the user identity. Examples of such devices include ID cards, Library Cards, Fees Clearance Cards, Photo Cards, etc. However, this method of authenticating a student for an examination has an obvious problem. The problem is that object can be misplaced, stolen, forgotten at home or somewhere, and ID card can also be faked. This paper presents a multi-mode biometrics (fingerprint and face) solution to the problem of examination malpractice in Nigerian schools. The appearance of both fingerprint scanner and web cam on modern laptop and notebook computers motivate the writing of this paper.
