products for certification bodies
The integrated examination systems developed by infolearn are used by bodies, recognized by the European Union such as the certification body DIPLOMA, and KeyCert (www.keycert.net 2006 to 2009).
Infolearn's integrated examination system consists of the following applications: Admin, Base and Client.
Infolearn's integrated examination system consists of the following applications: Admin, Base and Client.
- Admin is a web application located at the following address: https://www.diploma.edu.gr/admin
- The Base and Client are stand-alone applications which are installed on the computers of the examination center. Base is installed on a computer which is located outside of the examination class, and Client is installed on all the computers of the examination class.
- These three applications communicate with each other either via LAN or via internet. The communication is encrypted using the RC4 algorithm. In addition, the communication with the Admin is done via the HTTPS protocol which provides additional security.
- The examination process begins and ends from Admin.
- The system has a question database (QDB).
- All the applications fully support the Greek language or the language that is desired by the body.
-
The system architecture is the following:
Admin specifications
- Admin is an online application. It is the basic application of the certification system.
- It is hosted on a server with such characteristics so that it has an uptime of 100%. The server's connection speed with the internet is at least 10 Mbps.
- All the security requirements of a Data Center as met, such as backup procedures, encryption, user access management etc.
- Also all requirements are met with regard to personal data protection.
- Within the system are contained the data of candidates, certified candidates, certifications, examination centers, examinations, examinations results, supervisors, inspectors, the inspections of the examination centers, examination topics etc.
- The system has the capability of exporting statistics.
- There is a procedure for transferring the examination topics to the examination center, in case of the failure of the network in its region.
- Access to the system is provided to the certification’s body personnel, the state’s licensing body, the examination centers, the candidates, and everyone who is involved in the certification process. Each one has a different level of access and restrictions.
- The state's licensing body can access all the information if it is defined by the current legislation.
- The examination modules that each candidate will be evaluated at are inserted in Admin, in a way that during the examination process, the suitable examination software is enabled.
- The official website of the body is directly connected with the Admin in order to provide functions such as the search for examination centers, examination dates, the validation of a certificate and information on the certification process.
-
The functions are:
- The definition and administration of examination systems for the certification on skills to use a personal computer depending with the object of the examination.
- Management of the system's users.
- Management of Examination Centers (inspections, information management).
- Examinee management (registration, participation in examinations, history browsing).
- Examinations management (applications and approvals of examination programs, approval and publishing of results).
- Supervisor's management (supervisor assignment, history) with analytical reports on results, location and time of each examination.
- Access to Admin is achieved through secure internet connection (https) which is supported with a certificate signed by a respective firm, in order to fully verify that the user interacts with the server of the body that provides IT certifications. Users must certify their identity by entering their unique basic credentials.
- The issuing of certificates.
- The connection with the official website of the body that provides IT certifications in order to inform the public, in real time, with essential information that concerns it.
- The connection with the official website of the body that provides IT certifications for the electronic service of authenticity verification of the certificates.
- The data management for the statistical processing of certification data (such as certification results and supervisions).
- The safety of the storage media (hard disk failure), through backup processes.
- The prediction of alternative methods in examination topics distribution to Examination Centers in case of network failure of the current region.
Base specifications
- The communication with the Admin is encrypted using the RC4 algorithm and the HTTPS protocol.
- Through Base the person in charge or the examiner of the examination center downloads the examination topics. The examination topics are a set of information such as examinee information, examination modules, minimum success grade, available time and other information required in order to carry out the examination.
- During the download of the examination topics from the Admin, for each examinee there is a history on possible previous examinations, so that he or she will not be examined on the same question set again.
- The communication and the transfer of the examination topics between the Base and the Client is achieved with the help of the DCOM technology. All the data to be sent are encrypted using the RC4 algorithm. This way the maximum security is guaranteed for the examination topics.
-
Base application has the ability to print:
- The list of examinees per class and time for the examination process.
- The results of the examination process for all the examinees.
- Older examination processes which are stored locally.
- Base has the ability to set an absence to an examinee.
- After the completion of all the examination modules by all the examinees, the results are uploaded to Admin using RC4 encryption and the HTTPS protocol.
Client specifications
- The Client application is based on the technology of correction through its actual application (in-application) which examines and marks by checking the result. It also has the ability to examine closed type questions.
- The communication the Base is achieved encrypted using the RC4 algorithm.
- The information that is required in order to carry out an examination such as personal data, examination history, questions, examination status and other, if needed to be stored, it is stored encrypted with the help of the RC4 algorithm.
- At the beginning of the examination, during the process of personal identification, on the computer's screen appears the code of the examination topic so that every examinee will know on which module he or she will be examined.
- The transfer of the result of an examination from Client to Base is encrypted. The examination results are not stored on the same computer as the Client.
