Safe Exam Browser 3.10.1, released by ETH Zürich, is a specialized web browser environment engineered to secure online and on-site e-assessments by locking down the workstation and prohibiting access to unauthorized resources. Designed for high-stakes testing in academic and professional certification settings, the software transforms any Windows computer into a fortified kiosk that permits only pre-approved web pages or local quiz files to run, while disabling system shortcuts, task switching, USB storage, print functions, and the execution of additional applications. Institutions deploy it to deliver formative quizzes, summative finals, and proctored licensure exams in computer labs and students’ personal laptops alike, confident that copy-paste, screen capture, instant messaging, and virtual machine escapes are blocked. The program supports integration with major learning-management systems and question banks, and its configuration file can be cryptographically signed so that exam parameters cannot be altered once the session begins. Over eleven numbered releases since its inception, Safe Exam Browser has evolved from a basic kiosk shell into a cross-platform toolkit that now includes configurable spell-check whitelists, selective clipboard filters, secondary browser windows, and detailed audit logs for post-exam review. Each update refines compatibility with current Windows builds and tightens security policies in response to emerging cheating techniques, ensuring that the same tool can be reused semester after semester without compromising academic integrity. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always delivering the latest version and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
