Abstract
In this paper we study the suitability of a new generation of CAPTCHA methods based on smartphone interactions. The heterogeneous flow of data generated during the interaction with the smartphones can be used to model human behavior when interacting with the technology and improve bot detection algorithms. For this, we propose BeCAPTCHA, a CAPTCHA method based on the analysis of the touchscreen information obtained during a single drag and drop task in combination with the accelerometer data. The goal of BeCAPTCHA is to determine whether the drag and drop task was realized by a human or a bot. We evaluate the method by generating fake samples synthesized with Generative Adversarial Neural Networks and handcrafted methods. Our results suggest the potential of mobile sensors to characterize the human behavior and develop a new generation of CAPTCHAs. The experiments are evaluated with…
