*How* do you think these problems are going to be solved in the near future? What kind of technology will solve them? Retinal scans with every keystroke? Little cameras on the computer monitor to allow a test administrator to watch you (easy to fool with a video feed), etc?

What technology gives you such optimism about test-taker identification and integrity of the remote test-taking process being solved soon?
