Strengthening Exam Security with Watermarking Technology
In today’s digital age, safeguarding the integrity of certification exams is more challenging than ever. With the rise of online exam dumps and sophisticated cheating techniques, the risks to exam security have never been higher. However, Kryterion’s watermarking technology provides a powerful solution to these threats, ensuring your exams remain secure and credible.
The Rising Threats to Exam Integrity
Exam content poaching and dumping have become significant issues for credentialing organizations. Cheating methods have evolved, from hidden cameras and proxy testing to sophisticated software manipulation and collusion. Additionally, the ease of sharing content on social media and specialized websites has made it easier for exam takers to access and distribute exam materials.
The consequences of compromised exam content are severe. Organizations may face financial losses from having to develop new test items, potential legal repercussions, and damage to their reputations. Most importantly, the integrity of the certification is jeopardized, which can undermine public trust and the value of the credential.
How Watermarking Enhances Exam Security
Watermarking is an innovative security feature that embeds a unique identifier on every exam question and results page. This identifier allows organizations to track and manage the distribution of exam materials, ensuring that any unauthorized sharing can be traced back to the specific session.
Types of Watermarks:
- Visible Watermarks: Clearly visible identifiers that act as a deterrent and a tracing method if someone captures a photo of the screen.
- Invisible Watermarks: Hidden identifiers that require specific methods to expose, adding an extra layer of security.
