cAPTcHA is a type of challenge-response test used to determine if a user is human or a computer. It presents distorted text images that humans can read but current computer programs cannot. cAPTcHAs were created in 2000 by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University to prevent automated systems from registering for multiple email accounts or spamming. They work by showing a distorted image with letters or numbers and requiring the user to type what they see in order to access a service, thus proving they are human.

ð completely utomated ublic uring test to tell

ð A program that can tell whether its user is a human or a computer.
ð It uses a type of challenge-response test to determine that the
response is not generated by a computer.
ð Generic cAPTcHAs distort letters and numbers.
ð Distorted characters are presented to user.
ð User has to recognize the distorted letters.
ð If the guessed letters are correct, the user is inferred to be a human
and allowed access.
ð Else, user is a bot and denied access.
ð Humans can read the distorted and noisy text.
ð current Oc s cannot read them.
à  
ð In November 1999, s`  released a poll to vote for the best c
college in the U.
ð tudents from the cMU and the MIT created bots that repeatedly voted for
their respective colleges.
ð This incident created the urge to use cAPTcHAs for such online polls to
ensure that only human users are able to take part in the polls.
ð Altavista first used a crude cAPTcHA in their sites.
ð esulted in 95% spam reduction.
ð Yahoo partnered cMU to counter these threats in Messenger chat service.
ð Luis von Ahn and Manuel Blum of cMU trademarked cAPTcHA in 2000.

ð A program that can generate and grade tests that:


Most humans can pass.
current computer programs cannot pass.

ð Proposed by Alan Turing.
ð To test a machine¶s level of intelligence.
ð Human judge asks questions to two participants, one is a
machine, he doesn¶t know which is which.
ð If judge can¶t tell which is the machine, the machine passes the
test.
ð cAPTcHA employs a reverse Turing test,
judge = cAPTcHA program,
participant = user,
if user passes cAPTcHA, he is human.
if user fails, it is a machine.
