INTRODUCTION
•Does not rely on the type of CAPTCHA being new to the attacker.
• CAPTCHA requires that the user type letters or digits from a distorted
image that appears on the screen.
Examples:
IMAGINATION:
Free CAPTCHA service that helps to digitize books, newspapers and old time
radio shows.
Re-CAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that
cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to
decipher.
Each word that cannot be read correctly by OCR is placed on an image and used
as a CAPTCHA.
This is possible because most OCR programs alert you when a word cannot be
read correctly.
Working of reCAPTCHA:
Two words are shown, one word is known as Control Word, and another one is
known a questionable word.
System assumes that if human types the control word correctly, the questionable
word is also correct.
The identification performed by each OCR program is given a value of 0.5
points, and each interpretation by a human is given a full point.
Once a given identification hits 2.5 votes, the word is considered called.
