BOTOSOFT TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED
WAEC STUDENT IDENTITY CARD WITH INTEGRATED CONTACTLESS CHIP.
The West African Examinations Council Student ID System
WAEC exam registration and authorizing is manual, time consuming,
and susceptible to fraud. Students register online and are provided a paper receipt
that is later manually validated at the time of testing without a secure process to
confirm the student is who he or she says. For this reason tracking and recording
cases of identity fraud is difficult and suspect. While WAEC knew it needed to
do something to remedy the situation, with so many exam centers spread throughout
the country, building a more secure infrastructure from the ground up was not
economically feasible.
Botosoft leveraged its Secure ID expertise and offerings to deliver a customized
solution to accept the raw data from WAEC’s online enrollment process; validate the
information and encoded this information into smart cards issued to student.
Additionally, we designed and developed the softwares used on the mobile readers to authenticate student identity, record attendance and malpractice .
