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.
