Secure Web-Based E-Assessment

SafeExamBrowser (SEB) is a secure kiosk web browser environment used to carry out e-assessments that run on exam servers. SEB opens a web browser without an address and search bar, loads a pre-configured webpage and locks an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) into an assessment kiosk mode. This mode prevents students from switching to other apps (unless additional permitted apps are configured), accessing websites and communicating with other students during an exam. SEB enables secure exams on unmanaged iOS devices like students' own iPads as well as on iOS devices owned and managed by an institution. SEB doesn't use a centralized server or cloud service; it can be configured with an API, configuration files, links and QR codes. It can be used with most web-based quiz and e-assessment systems. For improved security and usability, some exam systems provide additional built-in support for SEB. Currently, SEB integrates especially well with learning management systems (LMS) such as Moodle, OpenOlat, ILIAS and with several non-commercial and commercial exam systems, such as Inspera Assessment, Dugga, Exam.net, EvaExam and Ans.
SEB uses one of the single app modes provided by iOS. After an exam is submitted, SEB can automatically end the app self-lock assessment mode (an exam invigilator could also use a quit password to end the SEB exam session and unlock the device if necessary).
SEB features an optional Dock displaying buttons for various commands. Instead or in addition, a left slider menu shows a list of open browser tabs and commands which can be used to (if enabled in settings) quit an exam session, jump back to the start page of an exam, reload a web page, and navigate back/forward in the browsing history.
SEB for iOS uses the same format for encrypted .seb configuration files as the SEB versions for other platforms. Those config files allow to individually configure SEB to display the start page of an exam system or an exam portal page with a list of links to current exams. If SEB for iOS is installed using a mobile device management (MDM) system, its initial configuration can easily be deployed using the "MDM Managed Configuration" feature. You can also directly start an exam with an individual configuration in SEB for iOS using a special config hyperlink. This link can be opened by examinees from Safari, Mail or a messenger app. In addition, you can use QR codes containing SEB links or even full, individual configurations. An exam can directly be started in SEB by using the iOS Camera app or the built-in QR code scanner.
SEB also works together with Apple Classroom, teachers can start individually configured exams on all student devices. See https://safeexambrowser.org/ios for more information.
SafeExamBrowser for iOS was developed by Daniel R. Schneider, ETH Zurich, IT Services, based on the original idea of Safe Exam Browser by Stefan Schneider, University of Giessen
Project concept: Thomas Piendl, Daniel R. Schneider, Damian Büchel, Andreas Hefti, Nadim Ritter, Dirk Bauer, Michael Kern, Kai Reuter, Tobias Halbherr, Karsten Burger, Marco Lehre, Brigitte Schmucki, Oliver Rahs.

Additional Information
Version history
3.6
Sep 09, 2025
• Added options in in-app Settings / User Interface to control the accessibility features VoiceOver, AssistiveTouch, Grayscale Display, Smart Invert (colors) and Zoom (system default, enable, disable).
• Support running on upcoming iOS/iPadOS version without having to change in in-app Settings / Security / Allow Running on iOS Beta never than iOS 18.
• Fixed crash in SEB 3.5.2 on (mostly) iOS older than 18.4 when loading specific webpages.
Optional features which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default
• Now supporting exams with multiple consecutive quizzes when using the optional SEB Server and SEB Server Moodle plugin.
• Fixed: SEB should send updated screen shot triggered by touch events when using the optional SEB Screen Proctoring.
• Attempt to fix a crash when establishing an SEB Server connection. If you are using SEB Server and encounter crashes when connecting to it, PLEASE SEND US A BUG REPORT (including according SEB log files and your config file). See Support link.
• Fix for random crashes in screen proctoring.
3.5.2
Jul 09, 2025
New in 3.5.2:
• Download and 'open' configured file types instead of displaying them crashes: Fixed regression in iOS version.
• Fixed: App Signature Key (ASK) was not transmitted when using the optional, individually configured SEB Server.
• Set default value for "Allow Running on iOS Beta" (in-app Settings / Security) to 'iOS >18'.
New in 3.5:
• Now it's possible to open configuration files in in-app Settings ('More options' menu) when not running in a secure session.
• Added Home Screen quick action for editing config files in SEB in-app Settings (touch and hold SEB icon).
• Editing config files now works correctly with secure client session.
• Added setting for showing 'Edit Config File' Home Screen quick action to Settings / Configuration.
(settings key mobileShowEditConfigShortcutItem).
• Added option to create new exam settings with default values either from the "More options" menu in in-app settings or when canceling file picker invoked from Home Screen quick action for editing config file.
• Added Discard button to in-app settings when opening config files for editing or when creating exam settings. Hitting Discard will close settings and restart SEB into client settings.
• Fixed "Additional Apps" was sometimes not displayed in client In-App-Settings.
• Added in-app settings UI for entering/editing URL filter rules.
• Added support for URL content filter in WKWebView. Note: If using custom regular expressions as SEB URL filter expression, only the subset supported by WKWebView/Safari Content Filters is allowed, see https://webkit.org/blog/3476/content-blockers-first-look/
• Download (and 'open') configured file types instead of displaying them:
Added new File Types setting to Settings / Down/Uploads which allows to specify file types which will be downloaded instead of displayed by the browser. You can also indicate the associated additional app for the file type, specify a custom protocol scheme for that app (Settings / Additional Apps / App / Custom Scheme) and use the option 'Open App for Downloaded File'.
• Fixed: AAC Multi-App mode not enabled on iPadOS > 17.7.1.
• Added Home Screen quick action "Share Log File".
• Sending logs is now also possible with secure client session.
• Fixed: Blocking file chooser for uploads on iOS not working in Ans.
• Changed default values for settings allowDownUploads (enabled/true, deprecated setting) and allowUploads, which is now replaced with allowUploadsiOS (disabled/false).
• Added separate allowUploadsiOS setting, as choosing files for upload allows to access the Photos library and (iCloud) Files on iOS (compared to macOS, where you can use the temporary download folder to avoid full disk access).
• Changed default value for minimum supported iOS version to 13. SEB will still work with iOS 12 if you change that setting, but we are not testing with this version and we generally recommend to use the latest iOS version.
• Changed default preset for Browser Engine Policy: Now using Force Modern (if older settings don't contain another policy).
Optional features which need to be individually configured and are disabled by default
• Implemented the SEB Server invoked feature Raise Hand.
• Implemented Raise Hand message feature (displayed with long press on raise hand Dock button/side menu item or with setting raiseHandButtonAlwaysPromptMessage).
• Fixed: Crash after ending a screen proctoring session without internet connection.
• Fixed: SEB couldn't be quit because it was trying to transmit a screen shot which already was transmitted and deleted.
• Improved security for caching screen shots when connection is offline.
