Diceware is a method for creating passphrases, passwords, and other cryptographic variables using ordinary dice as a hardware random number generator. For each word in the passphrase, five rolls of a six-sided die are required. The numbers from 1 to 6 that come up in the rolls are assembled as a five-digit number, e.g. 43146. That number is ...
This CAPTCHA (reCAPTCHA v1) of "smwm" obscures its message from computer interpretation by twisting the letters and adding a slight background color gradient. A CAPTCHA (/ ˈ k æ p. tʃ ə / KAP-chə) is a type of challenge–response test used in computing to determine whether the user is human in order to deter bot attacks and spam. [1]
There is great flexibility in how Parsons problems can be designed, including the types of code fragments from which to select, and how much structure of the solution is provided in the question. [3] Easier Parsons problems provide the complete block structure of the solution included in the question, and the provided lines of code simply need ...
AOL Mail uses many security measures to keep your account secure, one of which is CAPTCHA or image challenges when sending mail. These challenges exist to make it harder for hackers to access your accounts. The characters can't be read by a computer and must be entered manually, ensuring only a real person can pass the test. Why am I being ...
In computer science, lattice problems are a class of optimization problems related to mathematical objects called lattices.The conjectured intractability of such problems is central to the construction of secure lattice-based cryptosystems: lattice problems are an example of NP-hard problems which have been shown to be average-case hard, providing a test case for the security of cryptographic ...
A Sudoku starts with some cells containing numbers (clues), and the goal is to solve the remaining cells. Proper Sudokus have one solution. [1] Players and investigators use a wide range of computer algorithms to solve Sudokus, study their properties, and make new puzzles, including Sudokus with interesting symmetries and other properties.
Because you don't have to *reliably* guess the correct word in order to break the captcha. Say a word can be OCR'd 10% of the time (without added distortion). That's not good enough for the server because it needs to know 100% what the word is, but it *is* good enough for the evil client because it can just make 10 guesses.
In 2007, von Ahn invented reCAPTCHA, [24] a new form of CAPTCHA that also helps digitize books. In reCAPTCHA, the images of words displayed to the user come directly from old books that are being digitized; they are words that optical character recognition could not identify and are sent to people throughout the web to be identified.
