In this paper, we propose a novel image-based completely automated public turing test to tell computers and humans apart (CAPTCHA) that relies on detecting human faces to provide an additional layer of security in web-based services. Face images were selected from the CMU face database and subjected to different types of distortions at different intensity levels to make the automatic face detec...

CAPTCHAs are a standard security mechanism used on many websites to protect online services against abuse by automated programs, or bots. The purpose of a CAPTCHA is to distinguish whether an online transaction is being carried out by a human or a bot. Unfortunately, to date many existing CAPTCHA schemes have been found to be vulnerable to automated attacks. It is widely accepted that state-of-...

Research on CAPTCHA has led CAPTCHA design into adopting almost exclusively graphical implementations that deal mostly with character recognition. This has reached an exhaustion point, where new approaches are vital to the survival of the technique. This paper discusses the early stages of a research that intends to solve the open problem of a CAPTCHA in the text domain offering, this way, inno...

Number of graphical password scheme has been proposed as options to traditional to text password authentication, namely a new family of graphical password system for Captcha technology with the level of security. We...

CAPTCHAs have been deployed ubiquitously by web sites to combat automated malicious programs. Security against web bots and usability to legitimate users are two main goals that have to be simultaneously satisfied when designing a useful CAPTCHA scheme. However, there exists a well-known and intricate trade-off between these goals. So far, balancing this trade-off remains an art rather than a s...

As protection of web applications are getting more and more important every day, CAPTCHAs are facing booming attention both by users and designers. Nowadays, it is well accepted that using visual concepts enhance security and usability of CAPTCHAs. There exist few major different ideas for designing image CAPTCHAs. Some methods apply a set of modifications such as rotations to the original imag...

CAPTCHA stands for Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computer and Human Apart. It is the test that human can pass easily but computer cannot. For example, humans can read distorted text, but current computer programs cannot. For many years, CAPTCHAs have proven very useful for many reputable, Web-based email and application service providers, including social networking sites and ...

Completely Automatic Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a HIP (Human interactive Proof) system. CAPTCHAs are used to improve the security of Internet based applications in order to ensure that a web based application which is intended to be used by a human being is not maliciously used by Artificially Intelligent programs called bots. As the current CAPTCHA metho...

An automated public Turing test to distinguish between computers and humans known as CAPTCHA is a widely used technique on many websites to protect their online services from malicious users. Two fundamental aspects of captcha considered in various studies in the literature are robustness and usability. A widely accepted standard benchmark, to guide the text-based captcha developers is not yet ...
