Proctoring Without Student ID Storage | MyProof
MyProof lets proctoring platforms verify test-taker identity at check-in without storing student ID photos. It returns an identity proof result and receipt reference while keeping exam monitoring outside the MyProof product boundary.
Never sent during verification
- Student ID photo
- Biometric template
- Room scan
- Screen recording
Best for
- Exam platforms that need identity check-in before test launch.
- Certification and assessment programs under pressure to reduce retained student identity data.
- Institutions that want a clearer split between identity proofing and exam monitoring.
Not for
- Exam surveillance, room scans, screen recording, or keystroke monitoring.
- Replacing academic integrity review or institution policy.
- Building a retained biometric template database.
Legacy IDV vs MyProof
| Legacy IDV |
MyProof |
| Store the student ID photo with the exam record and increase breach exposure. |
Verify the student on device and send only the check-in proof result. |
| Bundle every privacy concern into a broad proctoring product claim. |
Keep identity proofing narrow, inspectable, and separate from exam monitoring. |
| Ask students to trust another platform with their full identity artifacts. |
Show students a proof flow where the ID photo is never sent to the platform. |
Frequently asked questions
Can proctoring platforms verify identity without storing student ID photos?
Yes. MyProof is designed to verify the test-taker at check-in and return a proof result instead of sending the ID photo into the proctoring platform.
Does MyProof watch the exam?
No. MyProof is not exam surveillance software. It handles the identity check-in layer and leaves monitoring decisions to the proctoring platform.
Can liveness be included?
Yes. Liveness can be included as one predicate in the check-in policy when the workflow requires it.
What does the platform receive?
The platform receives the check-in result and receipt reference. The student ID photo is treated as never sent in the MyProof flow.
