  Description     : OpenLock Exam and Kiosk-Mode Web Browser

 OpenLock is a secure, kiosk-mode browser that provides the same
 lockdown guarantees as Respondus LockDown Browser and Safe Exam Browser
 (SEB) -- built natively for Linux. It lets students on Linux take
 proctored exams without dual-booting into Windows or macOS.
 .
 Most universities require Respondus or SEB for proctored exams. Neither
 supports Linux. Students running Linux are forced to dual-boot, use a
 VM (which gets detected and blocked), or borrow a different machine.
 .
 OpenLock fixes this by implementing the SEB open protocol directly,
 generating valid Browser Exam Keys and Config Key hashes so LMS
 platforms (Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard) accept connections as if they
 came from an official SEB client.
 .
 This package will be maintained under the umbrella of the Debian Edu
 Packaging Team.
