Aware Provides Biometric Solution to Cambridge Assessment to Enhance ESOL Exam Security
The Identica system enables exam proctors to easily capture ISO-compliant facial images of candidates. These images are then made available to organizations wishing to verify that the candidate presenting a certificate is the candidate who took the test. This is increasingly a need where international assessments are required for critical purposes, such as for citizenship application. Operating at a central facility, BioSP provides identity management functionality that enables the fast and efficient capture of candidates' facial photo upon their arrival at a test center. The system can be easily upgraded to support additional biometric modalities, including fingerprints.
