SECURE EXAM METHOD

摘要

A method and computer program are provided for creating a secure computing environment by preventing access to unauthorized files during the execution of a desired application. User commands are filtered for instructions that would lead to unauthorized application access. This restricts access to all files except the file created by the desired application. This method works for portable, desktop, and networked computers. Preferably, at least the security features of the invention are distributed to the users through a single-use floppy disk, although any other suitable storage medium may be utilized. Additional security features include the use of encrypted files, a log of system events and the secure deletion of related files.
