Safe Exam Browser 3.4.1
Summary
This patch update fixes an issue with downloads originating from data URLs.
Starting with release version 3.4.0, the Browser Exam Key of SEB for Windows is platform-specific, i.e. its value is different for the 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) build of the same version!
Changes
- Fixed crash when attempting to download file originating from data URL.
- Updated browser engine to version 107.1.40 (Chromium version 107.0.5304.68).
Known Issues
- Screen readers NVDA and JAWS are not compatible with kiosk mode Create New Desktop. If their usage is required, please use kiosk mode Disable Explorer Shell where they should work as expected.
- Live proctoring isn’t compatible with kiosk mode Create New Desktop due to an issue in WebView2 (see MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback#960). Thus, if live proctoring is active, the kiosk mode will always automatically be set to Disable Explorer Shell.
Requirements
SEB 3.4.1 requires the prerequisites listed below in order to work correctly. These are automatically installed with the setup bundle and need only be manually installed when using the MSI packages.

Safe Exam Browser turns any computer temporarily into a secure workstation. It controls access to resources like system functions, other websites and applications and prevents unauthorized resources being used during an exam.
General Concept
SEB runs on a local computer and it is connected via the internet to a learning management system (LMS) or an e-assessment system. Generally SEB works with any web based LMS and other kinds of web based exam systems. Some learning management systems (LMS) like for example Moodle, ILIAS, OpenOLAT and exam solutions as Inspera Assessment offer a quiz mode specifically compatible with SEB.
Architecture
SEB consists of a kiosk application and a browser part, which are running on an examination computer or tablet device. The kiosk application locks down the examination computer, the browser part communicates over the internet (or a LAN) with the quiz module of an LMS running on a server.
Components
The illustration above shows the two internal components which SEB consists of, the kiosk application and the browser part. The third part of an SEB exam environment is build into the supported LMS. Optionally one or several third party application(s) can be allowed to run during an exam and are started by the SEB kiosk application.
The kiosk application locks down the computer and starts the SEB browser plus optional third party applications. Since this application has to control miscellaneous OS functions, it is designed very system specific.
The SEB browser loads and displays the LMS exam page using a preset URL and doesn’t show any navigation elements like address bar, search engine field etc. The Windows version of SEB currently uses the Mozilla Gecko browser engine, either in the form of Firefox or XULRunner. SEB for macOS and iOS use the WebKit browser engine.
The learning management systems contain so-called quiz modules, which are used for online exams. SEB relies on extensions/skins to the quiz modules in Moodle and ILIAS for secure exams. With these extensions the user interface of the LMS is reduced to just contain navigation for the exam (no links to other pages outside the quiz) and no other undesirable features like messaging. An exam can also be configured to run only with SEB, not another browser. These SEB LMS extensions, which originally had to be installed separately to achieve this connectivity with SEB, have been integrated into the LMS in recent versions of ILIAS and Moodle.
SEB for Windows
Safe Exam Browser for Windows consists of the SEB kiosk application, which opens an own Windows desktop and blocks system commands like keyboard shortcuts (for example ALT+F4) and right mouse button clicks. The second part is Firefox, running in a so-called XUL runtime mode. The SEB XUL browser application running on Firefox connects to the LMS, using a pre-configured start URL. The SEB browser doesn’t contain a URL or search field and navigation controls (back/forward, reload) can be disabled.
SEB for macOS and iOS
In contrast to the Windows version, Safe Exam Browser for macOS and iOS is a monolithic application using a web browser framework instead of a browser runtime. It’s using the WebKit engine, on which Safari and some open source browsers are based. Otherwise, SEB for macOS/iOS connect to the Learning Management Systems in the same way as the Windows version.
Configuration
Safe Exam Browser enables secure exams on unmanaged computers like students’ own laptops and tablets as well as in managed environments on all three platforms Windows, macOS and iOS. Starting version 2.0, SEB offers an individual configuration per exam, which is protected by a strong encryption against manipulation. Thanks to an elaborate authentication feature, the exam system can verify that a particular, unaltered SEB version and the correct exam settings are used for an examination. This facilitates secure exams especially on unmanaged computers like students’ own laptops/tablets.
Safe Exam Browser 2.0 and later is a unified version which brings almost the same features, exam system interface, compatible configuration files and a very similar user interface onto all three platforms, while still taking in account operating system differences and unique platform specific features.
Features
- Managed web browser, which can be configured using encrypted configuration files
- Using special hyperlinks, SEB can be started from other web browsers and reconfigured individually per exam
- Fullscreen mode or multiple browser windows which can be resized (without any navigation elements), browser tabs on iPad
- VM detector: SEB detects whether it is running on a virtual machine or a jailbroken device and can refuse to start up
- URL filter to allow accessing only specific web sites, pages or resources
- Certificate pinning to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks on the connection to exam servers
- Spell checking and dictionary lookup is disabled, can optionally be allowed
- Built-in connection to Moodle, ILIAS, OpenOLAT, Inspera Assessment and others, can be used with basically any web-based examination system
SEB for Windows
- Disabled actions (in default settings):
- Windows Task Bar and the Start Menu
- Switch to other applications invoked by Alt+Tab or Windows+Tab (unless permitted)
- Menu options on the Windows Security Screen invoked with Ctrl+Alt+Delete are removed while SEB is running

SEB 2.3 для Windows предлагает новые функции, которые значительно повышают безопасность и удобство использования. Обратите внимание на нашу новую политику обновлений: мы будем поддерживать только последнюю версию SEB и удалим все старые версии SEB после льготного периода. Только с обновленными версиями SEB вы можете достичь максимальной безопасности и стабильности электронных оценок. Прежде чем задать какой-либо вопрос поддержки или сообщить об ошибке, установите последнюю версию SEB и попытайтесь воспроизвести проблему с самой последней версией.
Новое в SEB 2.3:
Реализован приватный буфер обмена (необязательно, см. Вкладку «Безопасность»). Если этот параметр включен, функция вырезания / копирования / вставки работает только с содержимым в браузере SEB, частный буфер обмена не принимает содержимое из других приложений или инструментов.
Добавлено масштабирование окон браузера с помощью сочетаний клавиш Ctrl +/-.
Теперь опция «Разрешить загрузку и выгрузку файлов» поддерживается в SEB для Windows, по крайней мере, загрузки можно включить / отключить с помощью этой опции (вкладка «Выгрузка / выгрузка»).
Диалоговое окно «Открыть файл с помощью … Безопасного обозревателя экзамена» больше не отображается, если не включена опция «Открыть файлы после загрузки» (вкладка «Загрузка / выгрузка»).
Включен SpeechSynthesis API.
Исправлена проблема при открытии PDF со ссылкой, которая будет открыта в новом окне браузера (target = _blank или JavaScript open), было открыто второе, пустое окно браузера.
Отключение печати во встроенном средстве просмотра PDF.js, поскольку это открыло проблему в безопасности.
Теперь при запуске сеанса SEB можно открыть встроенный файл PDF (встроенный дополнительный ресурс) вместо начального URL-адреса.
mailto: ссылки теперь игнорируются.
Исправлена ошибка, при которой последнее разрешенное приложение не запускалось, а все запущенные приложения не закрывались при использовании SEB без браузера.
Теперь SEB может подключаться к некоторым серверам, которые используют обычную аутентификацию.
Исправлена проблема с выходом из SEB во время работы Firefox.
Более подходящие сертификаты SSL / TLS отображаются в списке «Выберите сертификат TLS / SSL для встраивания в конфигурацию …» и в сертификате CA в Инструмент конфигурации SEB / Сеть / Сертификаты.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Другие преимущества:
Благодаря мощной функции «Дополнительные ресурсы» внешние и встроенные веб-страницы, полные или частичные веб-сайты, веб-приложения HTML5 и документы PDF можно безопасно и легко получить на экзаменах с помощью значков на панели задач SEB (аналогично разрешенным приложениям) или иерархических всплывающих меню.
Поддержка зашифрованных файлов настроек .seb, которые позволяют индивидуально настроить SEB на экзамен. Конфигурация совместима с версиями SEB для Windows, Mac и iOS. Используйте отдельный инструмент конфигурации Windows SEB для создания настроек .seb.
Кнопки на панели задач SEB для возврата к началу, перезагрузки страницы, изменения раскладки клавиатуры, переключения сети Wi-Fi, изменения громкости звука и отображения на текущий момент повышают удобство использования на экзаменах.
Возможность выйти из SEB после сдачи экзамена, указав ссылку выхода и разместив ее на сводной странице, отображаемой вашей LMS после сдачи экзамена.
Клавиша экзамена в браузере позволяет модулю экзамена аутентифицировать подключающуюся версию SEB и ее настройки. Плагины, предлагающие эту функциональность, были выпущены для систем управления обучением Moodle и ILIAS, OpenOLAT версии 10.2 имеет встроенную поддержку.
Настраиваемые параметры (на экзамен) в пользовательском интерфейсе: можно предварительно настроить размер и расположение окон браузера (главное окно с викториной и дополнительные окна браузера). Главное окно браузера SEB может отображаться в полноэкранном режиме, или в виде большого и подвижного окна.
Разрешенные сторонние приложения легко запускать и переключать на них (автоматический запуск вместе с SEB и щелкнув по его значку на панели задач SEB). Можно определить запрещенные процессы и приложения, которые закрываются при запуске SEB. SEB также содержит список запрещенных процессов по умолчанию.
PrintScreen можно заблокировать, буфер обмена очищается при запуске и остановке SEB.
Функция безопасности, которая контролирует процессы и препятствует открытию, активизации и отображению всех недопустимых приложений во время работы SEB.
Индивидуальные настройки прокси, фильтры URL и сертификаты сервера могут быть использованы для каждого экзамена.
Файлы конфигурации SEB, сохраненные для настройки клиента, могут содержать встроенные криптографические идентификаторы (сертификаты X.509 с закрытым ключом), которые будут установлены в хранилище сертификатов Windows, а затем могут использоваться для расшифровки файлов конфигурации .seb без использования пароля настроек.
Заставка и режим ожидания приостановлены во время работы SEB, чтобы не вводить пароль разблокировки экрана перед началом экзамена.
Редактор конфигурации SEB для создания и изменения файлов настроек .seb для Safe Exam Browser:
Позволяет определить все параметры для версий SEB 2.x для Windows и Mac.
Может сохранять файлы .seb для индивидуальной конфигурации для каждого экзамена и для каждого клиента экзамена, которые защищены надежным шифрованием от манипуляций.
Файлы конфигурации могут настроить клиент экзамена SEB, например, для отображения страницы портала с текущими экзаменами.
Поддерживает файлы .seb, зашифрованные паролем, или сертификатами X.509 (криптография с открытым / закрытым ключом). В целях отладки файлы конфигурации .seb могут быть сохранены в незашифрованном виде в удобочитаемом формате XML.
____________________________________________________
Для временных заметок (не сохраняется в браузере)
SEB 2.4 для Windows — последнее обновление функции, прежде чем браузер полностью перейдет на SEB 3.x. Он поддерживает ключ конфигурации и настройки файлов cookie сеанса, совместимые с SEB-Moodle Deeper Integration, который входит в состав Moodle 3.9 !
Обратите внимание на нашу новую политику обновлений: мы будем поддерживать только последнюю версию SEB и удалим все старые версии SEB после льготного периода. Только с обновленными версиями SEB вы можете достичь максимальной безопасности и стабильности электронных оценок.
Прежде чем задать какой-либо вопрос поддержки или сообщить об ошибке, установите последнюю версию SEB и попытайтесь воспроизвести проблему с самой последней версией. Мы не будем отвечать на вопросы, если версия SEB не упоминается или когда вы не упоминаете, пробовали ли вы ее в текущей версии.
Пожалуйста, обновляйте свою среду экзаменов, нет альтернативы регулярным обновлениям.
Новое в SEB 2.4:
Функция ключа конфигурации, значение контрольной суммы хеша для проверки настроек, используемых SEB. Ключ конфигурации может быть сгенерирован автоматически совместимой системой экзаменов вместе с конфигурацией SEB, которая будет использоваться для экзамена. Все версии SEB, поддерживающие ключ конфигурации, генерируют один и тот же ключ, если используется один и тот же файл конфигурации SEB.
Реализованы ключи настройки для контроля очистки куки при запуске / завершении сеанса (examSessionClearCookiesOnStart / examSessionClearCookiesOnEnd). Это можно использовать для того, чтобы пользователи вошли в систему (SEB запущен с настройками клиента) после начала экзаменационной сессии.
Теперь TLS 1.2 поддерживается для загрузки файлов .seb с использованием ссылок sebs: //.
Добавлено больше запрещенных процессов по умолчанию. Напоминаем: вы не можете удалить эти запрещенные процессы по умолчанию (SEB Config Tool / Приложения / Запрещенные процессы), вы можете просто деактивировать их, сняв флажок со значения «Active».
Закрытый буфер обмена теперь также должен корректно работать с редакторами форматированного текста, такими как TinyMCE (исправлено двойное вставление текста).
Исправлены две незначительные проблемы, связанные с фильтрацией портов и путей в фильтре URL.
Исправлено: клиент SEB падает при загрузке настроек клиента, которые не содержат все ключи / значения.
Исправлено неправильное сообщение об ошибке в случае, если службе не удалось установить значения реестра.
Исправлено исключение индекса вне диапазона при запуске дополнительного ресурса с приложением.
Переименован параметр «Безопасность» / «Включить захват экрана / PrintScreen» в «Разрешить захват экрана / PrintScreen».

Следующая основная версия Safe Exam Browser для Windows. SEB 3.x для Windows была полностью переработана и использует Chromium в качестве интегрированного движка браузера. Однако SEB 3.0.0 пока не предоставляет полный набор функций SEB 2.x (например, нет дополнительных ресурсов). Ниже приведен список наиболее важных новых функций и изменений: · Новый встроенный браузерный движок (Chromium Version 79.0.3945.130 для SEB 3.0.0).
· Выделенные сборки для 32-битных и 64-битных операционных систем.
· Поддерживает переключение режима киоска при перенастройке (например, из «Создать новый рабочий стол» в «Отключить оболочку обозревателя»).
· Центр действий (боковое меню) с той же функциональностью, что и панель задач (т. е. доступ к приложениям и элементам управления системы).
· Экран блокировки, который активируется, если запрещенное приложение не может быть прекращено.
· Доступ к инструментам разработчика движка браузера (для веб-разработчиков).
· Доступ в реальном времени к журналу приложений SEB (например, для тестирования таких функций, как фильтр URL).
· Новые настройки для управления сеансом браузера (для глубокой интеграции SEB-Moodle).
· Улучшенный пользовательский интерфейс с новыми функциями (например, миниатюры открытых окон в представлении задач [ALT + TAB]).
· Полностью автоматизированная система сборки с юнит-тестами.
Поскольку SEB 3.0 еще не поддерживает функциональность WebRTC (например, доступ к веб-камерам через веб-приложения), мы внедрили универсальный браузер с поддержкой WebRTC, который можно использовать как стороннее приложение в конфигурации SEB. Посетите Chrominimum на GitHub для получения дополнительной информации.
