52 results about "Turing test" patented technology

The Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. Turing proposed that a human evaluator would judge natural language conversations between a human and a machine designed to generate human-like responses. The evaluator would be aware that one of the two partners in conversation is a machine, and all participants would be separated from one another. The conversation would be limited to a text-only channel such as a computer keyboard and screen so the result would not depend on the machine's ability to render words as speech. If the evaluator cannot reliably tell the machine from the human, the machine is said to have passed the test. The test results do not depend on the machine's ability to give correct answers to questions, only how closely its answers resemble those a human would give.

Usable security of online password management with sensor-based authentication

A multi-party security protocol that incorporates biometric-based authentication and withstands attacks against any single party (e.g., mobile phone, cloud, or the user). The protocol involves the function split between mobile and cloud and the mechanisms to chain-hold the secrets. A key generation mechanisms binds secrets to a specific device or URL (uniform resource locator) by adding salt to a master credential. An inline CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) handling mechanism uses the same sensor modality as the authentication process, which not only improves the usability, but also facilitates the authentication process. This architecture further enhances existing overall system security (e.g., handling untrusted or compromised cloud service, phone being lost, impersonation, etc.) and also improves the usability by automatically handling the CAPTCHA.

Image Based Turing Test

A system and method for determining if a computer user is a human or a computer program. A computer user is presented with a series of images, the series of images including: at least two related images of an object, at least one of the at least two related images independently processed using an image modifying algorithm; and at least one unrelated image. The computer user is then requested to identify the related images from the series of images. These image identifications are received from the computer user. A determination is made that the computer user is: a human if the image identifications only identify the related images from the series of images; and a non-human if the image identifications do not only identify the related images from the series of images.

System and method of providing and validating enhanced CAPTCHAs

The invention relates to a system and method of automatically distinguishing between computers and human based on responses to enhanced Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (“e-captcha”) challenges that do not merely challenge the user to recognize skewed or stylized text. A given e-captcha challenge may be specific to a particular knowledge domain. Accordingly, e-captchas may be used not only to distinguish between computers and humans, but also determine whether a respondent has demonstrated knowledge in the particular knowledge domain. For instance, participants in crowd-sourced tasks, in which unmanaged crowds are asked to perform tasks, may be screened using an e-captcha challenge. This not only validates that a participant is a human (and not a bot, for example, attempting to game the crowd-source task), but also screens the participant based on whether they can successfully respond to the e-captcha challenge.

Authentication method and system for CAPTCHA Turing test based on static characters

The invention discloses an authentication method and a system for CAPTCHA Turing test based on static characters. The authentication method and the system for the CAPTCHA Turing test based on the static characters include the following steps of establishing a communication connection between a server and a client, selecting randomly a static string in a static string database stored the server in advance, segmenting the static string into single characters, then calling a character image to generate a function which converts single characters into image representation, placing the single characters represented by the image into a region formed by a circular or elliptic boundary to show as a verification code on the client so as to carry out the Turing test CAPTCHA. Utilizing the region formed by the circular or elliptic boundary to place the verification code, the method can effectively prevent the character from being segmented by conventional pixel segmentation, and thus increases the difficulty of attack. The method carries out distortion, mirror image, and increasing interference lines for characters. The method carries out the characters arrangement according to the specific semantics of the characters and increases more human participation and can guarantee the safe man-machine interaction.

Method for reducing verification efficiency, method for generating captcha, correlated system, and server

The invention discloses a method for reducing a verification efficiency, a method for generating a captcha (completely automated public turing test to tell computer and humans apart), a correlated system, and a server. The method for reducing the verification efficiency comprises the following steps that: a client sends a captcha drawing request to a captcha server; the captcha server receives the captcha drawing request and generates captcha information carrying a consuming system resource program executed automatically; the captcha information carrying the consuming system resource program executed automatically is sent to the client; and the client receives the captcha information carrying the consuming system resource program executed automatically and executes the consuming system resource program automatically. Because the client receives the captcha information that is sent by the captcha server and carries the consuming system resource program executed automatically and executes the consuming system resource program automatically, the system resources of the client are consumed; the captcha verification efficiency is reduced; the cost of manual malicious verification is increased, so that the manual malicious verification can be prevented to the certain extent.
