Digital workflow of results from the department where results are generated, to the processing unit, and finally to the students or any other units where results are needed is highly recommended more especially in this era of technological revolution and COVID-19 epidemics. Besides, a couple of drawbacks is usually associated with paper-based result processing. These drawbacks included but were not limited to high overhead cost, high fraud risk, document misplacement, degradation of the document after multiple printing, and delay in result processing. However, online result processing cannot be exonerated from fraud such as cyber-related fraud. Cybercrimes are increasing on daily basis with more concern in developing countries and as such, every online business or transaction should be defended against malicious attacks and unnecessary alterations. Considering the critical and confidential nature of results vis-à-vis the menace associated with cybercrime, this paper suggests the application of digital signature in online result processing to ensure the authentication of the sender, integrity of data, and non-repudiation. The use of the digital signature technique as a security measure in online result processing will promote trust and acceptability of results and other related information. This paper carried out an overview of cybercrime, introduced the concept, framework, and application of digital signature in online result processing.
