1.0 CLAG
Introduction

CLAG is a Bluetag proprietary protocol for Character and Learning
Assessment Guaranty in education, it is focused at combating identity &
financial fraud, exam malpractice, poor & inaccurate human identification
(Forged IDs) and security threats through the digital enrollment of bonafide
students on the CLAG platform.

CLAG guarantees authenticity of Academic products through elimination of
fraudulent activities that mar integrity. Academic processes are continually
evaluated for conformity to set standards.

The enrolled data is securely stored in the IMT identity management AFIS
server for real time verification and update, while a copy is used for the
production of digital Identity cards that also double as payment debit cards.

Student identity can thus be verified at any point of choice through their
biometric ID cards, by their registration numbers or scanning their enrolled
finger prints. Below is the process flow as it concerns the student’s life cycle.
