Аннотация:Both electronic and remote learning is becoming common learningtechnologies for modern universities. Based on advances in the information technology field, educational institutions widely use e-learning systems; new educational standards also require their use in the educational process. However, theissues of information security of such systems are not well developed. Opponentsof e-learning argue that the impossibility of an e-learning environment to reliablyidentify a student is the main problem with the use of such systems. The work isdevoted to the most important problem of remote and e-learning - student authentication in the system. Different approaches to authentication are considered,their comparative analysis is carried out, the advantages and disadvantages ofvarious authentication methods are revealed, it is established that biometric authentication methods are the most effective for solving educational tasks. Theauthor's approaches are proposed based on dynamic authentication using thetrainee's handwriting and static authentication using a manipulator mouse with abuilt-in ultrasound scanner. The proposed student authentication model solvesthe problem of strong authentication and provides the possibility of effectiveelectronic assessment and electronic exams. The results obtained are confirmedby the results of simulation modeling and real experiments with students.
