About the locked-down browser application

Prevent students from accessing other applications, web pages, software or hardware features and only provides access to the test player.
Prevent the use of operating system commands such as functions accessed by Ctrl-Alt-Delete.
Disable features such as the camera, spell check, screenshot, home, keyboard shortcuts, back and power buttons.
Prevent execution in a virtual machine or a virtual desktop (e.g. Citrix Virtual desktops, VMware or Parallels on Mac).
