How is thesecurity deposit dealt with?

Hello, we are new to AirBnB and are wondering if the security deposit is paid up front and then refunded by the host? Or does the guest simply understand they are liable for the amount of security deposit set by the host?  Information on the security deposit process will help. Thanks!
