Otherwise, SEB for macOS/iOS connect to the Learning Management Systems in the same way as the Windows version. It's using the WebKit engine, on which Safari and some open source browsers are based. 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. The SEB browser doesn't contain a URL or search field and navigation controls (back/forward, reload) can be disabled.

The SEB XUL browser application running on Firefox connects to the LMS, using a pre-configured start URL. The second part is Firefox, running in a so-called XUL runtime mode. 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. 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. An exam can also be configured to run only with SEB, not another browser. 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. SEB relies on extensions/skins to the quiz modules in Moodle and ILIAS for secure exams. The learning management systems contain so-called quiz modules, which are used for online exams.SEB for macOS and iOS use the WebKit browser engine. The Windows version of SEB currently uses the Mozilla Gecko browser engine, either in the form of Firefox or XULRunner. 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.Since this application has to control miscellaneous OS functions, it is designed very system specific.

The kiosk application locks down the computer and starts the SEB browser plus optional third party applications.

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 third part of an SEB exam environment is build into the supported LMS. The illustration above shows the two internal components which SEB consists of, the kiosk application and the browser part. In addition a third party application can be allowed to run at the same time, for example Excel or R Schematic illustration of an online exam with Safe Exam Browser and a LMS, for example ILIAS or Moodle. 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. SEB consists of a kiosk application and a browser part, which are running on an examination computer or tablet device. For more information see our privacy statement. If an SEB client has been configured to connect to a video conferencing service or an SEB server instance, this will be indicated to candidates when starting an exam session and video/audio proctoring/support must be explicitly agreed to by each exam candidate in a dialog box. This video conferencing connection must also be configured individually and is always disabled by default. This also applies to the support and proctoring capabilities in new SEB versions via video conferencing services such as Jitsi Meet (open source, can be installed on a self-operated server) or Zoom (commercial, cloud-based). This is strictly optional and must be configured individually in any case. SEB clients can then be connected to such an SEB server instance using individual configuration files.

SEB does not connect to any central server or cloud service! SEB Server is being developed as an independent open source software component that can be installed on a self-operated server. 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. Generally SEB works with any web based LMS and other kinds of web based exam systems.

SEB runs on a local computer and it is connected via the internet to a learning management system (LMS) or an e-assessment system. It controls access to resources like system functions, other websites and applications and prevents unauthorized resources being used during an exam. The software turns any computer temporarily into a secure workstation. Safe Exam Browser is a web browser environment to carry out e-assessments safely.
