DESIGNING A FACE DETECTION CAPTCHA Adam C. Day Completely Automated Tests for Telling Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHAs) are quickly becoming a standard for security in every online interface that could be the subject to spam or other exploitation. The majority of today's CAPTCHA technologies rely on text-based images, which present the user with a string of distorted characters and asks the...

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 ...

A Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a widely used security defense mechanism that is utilized by service providers to determine whether the entity interacting with their system is a human and not a malicious agent. Motivated by recent research which underpins the necessity for designing more userfriendly CAPTCHA, this paper investigates the ...

CAPTCHAs exploit the gap in the ability between a human and a machine to understand the semantics of specific multimedia content, with vast applications in computer security. In this paper we compare two techniques in automated CAPTCHA solving for text-based CAPTCHA schemes, i.e., classification based on the Vector Space Model (VSM) versus a popular Optical Character Recognition (OCR) engine. F...

Information and computer security is supported by passwords. Password is the principal part of authentication process. The traditional authentication method is to use text-based password which is also called alphanumeric password. But it has significant drawbacks. So to overcome vulnerabilities of this traditional password scheme a graphical password scheme is developed. But major drawback of g...

-We are in the era of internet and depend on it for every necessary requirement. It is the tendency of the some human to have destructive approach rather than having constructive approach. Among the abuse and misuse of internet, the distributed denial of service attack (DDOS) is the most hectic one. People have carried out various method of mitigation using the CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Pub...

Evolution in the world of internet has given rise to several online attacks and the most common attack is phishing. Victims are tricked into providing such information by a combination of spoofing techniques and social engineering. Phishing is an attempt by an individual or a group to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details from unsuspecting victims. ...

Phishing is an attempt by an individual or a group to thieve personal confidential information such as passwords, credit card information etc from unsuspecting victims for identity theft, financial gain and other fraudulent activities. In this paper we have proposed a new approach named as "A Novel Antiphishing framework based on visual cryptography" to solve the problem of phishing. Here an im...

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...

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...
