Architecture Overview

Understand the system architecture, data flow, and component interactions.

System Topology

Nomevex follows a modular monolith architecture with clearly separated concerns:

  • Backend API — Fastify-based HTTP server with WebSocket support
  • PostgreSQL Database — Primary data store with row-level security
  • Redis Cache — Session state, rate limiting, and pub/sub
  • SvelteKit Portals — Seven role-gated web applications (Institution Admin, Student, Instructor, Platform Admin, Candidate, Reviewer, Company) plus a Rust/WASM verification portal
  • NAE (NOMEVEX Assessment Environment) — Native Rust application with embedded WebView
  • AI Inference Engine — On-device TensorFlow Lite models

Data Flow

During a proctored exam session, data flows through the following pipeline:

  1. Client — NAE captures events locally (keystrokes, focus changes, AI detections)
  2. Local Processing — AI inference runs on-device; events are hashed into Merkle tree
  3. Transmission — Encrypted event metadata sent via WebSocket to backend
  4. Backend — Validates, stores, and broadcasts events to authorized viewers
  5. Anchoring — Merkle roots periodically anchored to blockchain/transparency ledger
  6. Verification — Independent auditors verify session integrity via Verification Portal

Key Design Decisions

  • Local-first: students can take exams offline; data syncs automatically on reconnect
  • Privacy-preserving: raw video/audio never leaves the client device
  • Verifiable: cryptographic proofs enable independent audit without data access
  • Scalable: horizontal scaling via stateless API servers and PostgreSQL replication

LTI 1.3 Setup

Begin exams from your LMS and pass grades back.

Read it, then check it.

These pages describe a system designed so its claims can be checked. The verification SDK and the public portal let you confirm a session's integrity yourself, without trusting the platform.

  • Session integrity verifiable from the audit bundle alone
  • Public verification portal — no account required
  • Schemas published alongside the API reference
