Abstract: Online examinations have become more popular due to Pandemic. However, they need to be secured according to the regulations and laws concerning handling personal data or information that is sensitive in order to ensure safe collection and appropriate storage. Cryptography that is ID-based is a way of keeping secrecy, as well as following the specific rules related to servers’ ownership and location. Protection against fraud will be ensured at several levels such as exam items, exam responses, results and personal data of the candidates. Computer based exams that are organized and adminstered correctly should have all the characteristics of information security that will garantee their appropriateness. In this regard exam data are confidential, which means that they are not released to unauthorized devices or individuals, while checking their availability and integrity in the sense that they are not destroyed or modified but timely and reliably accessible. Authenticity through users’ identity check and non-repudiation through getting proof of delivery and reception are also important components of exams security. The key issues will be looked into in order to raise awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of online test delivery.
