ALGORITHM FOR PROTECTING A SCHOOL ONLINE TESTING PLATFORM FROM INFORMATION SECURITY THREATS

The article deals with the problem of ensuring information security of school online testing platforms in conditions of limited infrastructure and lack of cloud services. The necessity of developing a specialized algorithm aimed at protection against three main threats - data leakage, answer spoofing and authorization bypassing - is substantiated. The methodology of algorithm construction using cryptographic methods, secure authentication, integrity control and secure data storage is presented. The results of experimental verification of the algorithm on a prototype system are described. The obtained data confirm the effectiveness of the proposed solution while maintaining acceptable performance and usability. The work is focused on practical application in educational institutions and can serve as a basis for the creation of standard solutions for the protection of school information systems.
