Abstract
The paper describes a context-aware security system for identifying users mostly during the exam phase in the e-Learning environment. The system employs soft biometric characteristics of the individual and environments parameters in order to capture patterns and later applies those on reactive base identifying the person participating in the exam including external help that could be offered to him illegally from the teacher point of view. The paper discusses how the system can be built and what methods should be implemented within the system prior to the examination in order to increase reliability of the system.
