Thanks for the reply, Jim. That’s correct, this is an app that runs on the test-taker’s computer.

Network - SSL.

That could be done. But at the present, that is not an immediate concern. The risk of the average test-taker breaching security by dumping memory and sifting through the mess to reconstruct test questions while they are on live video and have no access to any other app while the test is running is a lot different than doing a screen shot or air playing the entire screen to an Apple TV in another room.

Every high-tech bank vault can be breached. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t a good idea to put a lock on the front door of my house.
