ABSTRACT
A CAPTCHA is a Turing test to distinguish human users from automated scripts to defend against internet adversarial attacks. As text-based CAPTCHAs (TBC) have become increasingly difficult to solve, image-based CAPTCHAs, and particularly face recognition CAPTCHAs (FRC), offer a chance to overcome TBC limitations. In this paper, we systematically design and implement a practical FRC, informed by psychological findings. We use gray-scale and binary images, which are computationally inexpensive to generate and deploy. Furthermore, our FRC complies with CAPTCHA design guidelines, thereby ensuring its robustness.

Machine learning attacks against the Asirra CAPTCHA
CCS '08: Proceedings of the 15th ACM conference on Computer and communications securityThe Asirra CAPTCHA [EDHS2007], proposed at ACM CCS 2007, relies on the problem of distinguishing images of cats and dogs (a task that humans are very good at). The security of Asirra is based on the presumed difficulty of classifying these images ...
