  • Patent number: 8898733
    Abstract: A system and method for automatically determining if a computer user is a human or an automated script. Human interactive proofs (HIPs) are currently used to deter automated registration for web services by automated computer scripts. Unfortunately, while every endeavor is made to obscure the HIPs from such automated processes, the presentation of current HIPs leaves systems very much open to malicious attack from automated computer scripts and processes such as optical character readers (OCR). Those HIPs that have proven more successful in foiling malicious attacks have proved difficult for humans to decipher.
