Abstract:
Computerized CAPTCHA systems using a direct connection with user computing devices are provided. An example computerized CAPTCHA system is configured to perform operations. The operations include receiving a request from a user computing device to engage in a verification process. The request is received independent of a resource provider from which the user computing device has requested a resource. The operations include providing a challenge to the user computing device at least in part in response to the request for engagement in the verification process and receiving a response to the challenge from the user computing device. The operations include determining whether the user computing device should be verified based at least in part on the response and providing a verification token to the user computing device when it is determined that the user computing device should be verified.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for verifying a user based on reputational information are provided. In particular, a computerized CAPTCHA system consisting of one or more computers can determine a trust score based on one or more reputation signals associated with a user computing device, select a challenge to provide to the user computing device based on the trust score, and determine whether to verify the user computing device based on a received response to the challenge and/or the trust score.
