  • Signature verification for third-party applications, providing version restriction by configuration file
  • Secure (isolated from the OS) clipboard implementation in SEB

Further information on the individual success criteria and conformance levels as well as information on limitations were outlined in the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template documents (VPAT WCAG edition):
  • New option to export SEB settings as configuration links or QR codes.
  • New and overhauled application integrity checks improve security
  • The new Application Signature Key (ASK) functionality allows automated application integrity checks similar to the manual use of the Browser Exam Key.
  • The new server-driven Browser Exam Key (BEK) can be used for improved SEB Server integration with LMS and e-assessment suites
  • Blocking AnyGPT by default
  • When using SEB Server, one or several SEB clients can be locked (with a red lock screen with optional, individual message) and unlocked again by the server.
  • Improved SEB Verificator for macOS and Windows
  • Improved MDM configuration for SEB on iOS
