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...

Recently, with the spread of online services involving websites, attackers have opportunity to expose these malicious actions. To protect services, A Completely Automated Public Turing Test Tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a proposed technique. Since many Arabic countries developed their in Arabic, text-based CAPTCHA has been introduced improve usability for users. Moreover, there e...

Many security primitives are based on hard mathematical problems. Using hard AI problems for security is emerging as an exciting new paradigm, but has been under-explored. In this paper, we present a new security primitive based on hard AI problems, namely, a novel family of graph-ical password systems built on top of Captcha technology, which we call Captcha as graphical passwords (CaRP). CaRP...

As one of the advanced Completely Automated Public Turing tests to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHAs), the CAPTCHA using mental rotation has been proposed. Mental rotation is an advanced human-cognitiveprocessing ability to rotate mental representations of “one” single 2D/3D object. However, as have already been reported, the mental rotation CAPTCHA can be overcome by pattern matching a...

CAPTCHA is widely used security technique employed to avoid automated form submissions or verify user as human. An alternative CAPTCHA method based on pattern matching and number recognition ability is proposed in this paper, which verifies user as human and prevents bots to intervene and spam applications or services. This method is based on user gestures which make it unique and secure. The b...

Abstract: CAPTCHA-Systeme sind weit verbreitete Schutzsysteme, um auf OnlinePlattformen menschliche Benutzer von automatischen Bots zu unterscheiden. Dabei kommen verschiedene Varianten zum Einsatz, die sich in Art und Interaktionsmodus sowie im Schwierigkeitsgrad der Lösung unterscheiden. In der vorliegenden Studie werden Kriterien der Benutzbarkeit von CAPTCHA-Systemen aufgestellt. Zudem werd...

Internet services designed for human use are being abused by programs. We present a defense against such attacks in the form of a CAPTCHA (completely automatic public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart) that exploits the difference in ability between humans and machines in reading images of text. CAPTCHAs are a special case of ‘human interactive proofs,’ a broad class of security pr...

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...

Herein, we propose generating CAPTCHAs through random field simulation and give a novel, effective and efficient algorithm to do so. Indeed, we demonstrate that sufficient information about word tests for easy human recognition is contained in the site marginal probabilities and the site-to-nearby-site covariances and these quantities can be embedded into KNW conditional probabilities, designed...
