SEB App-Signature-Key
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
The SEB App-Signature-Key (ASK) is a new security key according to the already known Browser-Exam-Key (BEK) used by SEB to restrict access and
|
||||
The SEB App-Signature-Key (ASK) is a new security key accordingly to the already known Browser-Exam-Key (BEK) used by SEB to restrict access and
|
||||
ensure SEB client integrity for a SEB Server based setup. This feature is available since SEB Server 1.5 and the respective compatible SEB clients
|
||||
noted within the SEB Server compatibility section of the SEB Server about page.
|
||||
|
||||
The main goal by using ASK for an exam with SEB and SEB Server is to ensure SEB client integrity. Since there is a unique ASK for every official SEB
|
||||
release and build and the ASK is been created at runtime and securely sent to SEB Server, it will prove the SEBs integrity. Additional to this particular
|
||||
ASK grant check, SEB Server will also make a heuristic check and considers an ASK as trusted if a particular number of SEB clients with the same
|
||||
ASK has been connected to SEB Server. Since manipulation of the SEB application in any way, will change the ASK of that SEB, SEB Server can recognize
|
||||
SEB clients with different singular ASKs and mark it as not granted as long as an exam administrator or supporter has not granted this specific ASK.
|
||||
|
||||
All explicitly granted ASK on the SEB Server are considered as trusted and SEB connecting with respective ASK will automatically get the grant and are
|
||||
marked as usual as Active connection.
|
||||
|
||||
App-Signature-Key Setup
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can enable ASK grant check per exam within your exam set up page. Use the new "App Signature Key" action on the left action pane to open the settings
|
||||
for this feature.

:target: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SafeExamBrowser/seb-server/master/docs/images/exam/examASK.png
|
||||
|
||||
Within this settings page you can enable or disable the feature any time also during a running exam. On the exam page you can see if the feature is enabled
|
||||
when the shield-icon is not strike-through.
|
||||
|
||||
Within the settings "Numerical Trust Threshold" you can set the threshold for the heuristic check that is applied if there is no explicit grant for an
|
||||
particular ASK. This means if more SEB clients with the same ASK has been connected to an running exam as this threshold points out, all that SEB clients
|
||||
will be considered as trusted since one can say, that manipulated SEB clients has also a single unique ASK while official builds of SEB will all have the same
|
||||
ASK for the same build.

|
||||
|
||||
In the following list you can see all APK that has been sent to the SEB Server by connected SEB clients. For a particular ASK you can also see
|
||||
how many SEB Clients has been sent this ASK and has the same signature.
|
||||
|
||||
Within this list you can explicitly grant a particular ASK by selecting the ASK from the list and using the "Add Security Grant" action from the
|
||||
right action pane. You will see a pop-up with the specific ASK hash to be granted and all SEB client connections listed that has sent this ASK
|
||||
below. You can give a name for the grant and save the grant by using "OK" action of the grant pop-up or cancel.

|
||||
|
||||
You see all granted ASKs within the second list with the ASK hash and the name that was given on grant. All explicitly granted ASKs from that list are
|
||||
considered trusted for the exam. And future SEB client connection that connects with one of the ASKs from this list are granted. All SEB clients that
|
||||
are connecting to the exam with different ASK will apply to the heuristic check using the given "Numerical Trust Threshold".
