Abstract: The trend of accessing the internet by different types of devices increases the challenges for organisations who are embracing e-assessment sessions as part of the e-learning process. These organisations face the unethical behaviour of unauthorised students as well as the costly expenses to provide secure exam systems. Different user authentication methods are briefly discussed in this paper for the e-assessment environment. As we pursue the optimistic version of the full meaning of e-learning and e-assessment, a theoretical model for smartphone devices is proposed to authenticate the identity of students before and during the e-assessment session.
