Work in Progress: Nobody knows who you really are online/on the world wide web — Amazon-recognition-service based ‘Virtualnet’ supported authentication: How certain are you it is indeed you in front of a screen?

Abstract

A specific project on its development phase is recounted on this paper which looks to strengthen authenticity, verification and validation of student identity levels that perform learning processes, mediated by ‘Virtualnet’ — an e-learning platform from Universidad Manuela Beltrán. To achieve this, a special face-recognition algorithm inclusion is suggested which in first instance is designed and tested to be later implemented as a prototype in the testing (exams) module from the online courses offered on this LMS.
