Is this grabbing ticket or surveying! Who would have thought that after a long time, the result was lost to the verification code. If this verification code is so happy to make people understand it, it is even more confusing. Let me choose all pictures containing cars, then this one occupies a little bit, should I choose?

Those who were "laughed at" by these outrageous verification code filled the ridicule directly, and they had a lot of stalks. Do you want to be embarrassed by these verification codes? There is a skill to make these directly!

A mess, solution to the problem, can even let others choose the bug in the code?丨 devrant.com

Recently, some companies have shot the annoying verification code! At this year's developer conference, Apple mentioned a function in the new system: automatic verification. They want the system to replace people for operation and automatically pass the verification code verification. After so many years, can we finally say to the verification code?

Aren't you a robot?

The verification code is "difficult", and it can be reflected from its full name. In 2000, a group of doctors from the University of Carnegie Mellon created Capthca. This bunch of letters represent the Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers APART of Computer and Human and Human. This sounds very high -end test, falling into the user's hands, is the "input verification code".

But at the beginning, this verification code did not want to embarrass humans, but wanted to be embarrassed. The Internet is always full of robots, and these robots are essentially computer code running automatically. These code can register a large amount of accounts on different websites. After that, the robot account can publish spam, automatically swipe tickets, and even attack the website.

Artificial audit is difficult to pass the code that runs repeatedly, so the website needs an effective method to identify robots and lives. The verification code becomes an ideal solution.

Early verification codes generally distinguish robots and lives by distorting normal text or adding some interference lines to them. This simple change is not a problem for human reading, but it is a full problem for robots that can only identify standard text.

Humans have been so quiet for a while, but robots are becoming more and more "smart". With the further development of deep learning technology, robots can easily identify these distorted texts. Such a vicious circle makes the text used to verify that it is becoming more and more difficult.

How can we create words that are not understood by robots? At this time, the research team of the University of Carnegie Mellon thought another good way: Scan a few old books with AI, isn't those words that can't be scanned, isn't it a good verification code material? As a result, these AIs that could not be recognized and another determined word were put in the verification code box together. When you enter these two words, if the determined word input is correct, the system will bid to determine that another word is effective.

This method not only prevents robots, but also allows humans to do outsourcing unknowingly: When the word that exceeds a certain number of people is not recognized, the word will be confirmed and recovered, so as to complete the electronicization of the old book.

Later, Google acquired the project and used it in the identification of pictures such as Google Books and Google Street. However, compared to the simple deformation characters generated by the program, humans want to identify the fuzzy book characters and pictures that these AI cannot see, and the difficulty becomes greater.

The world hates the verification code

Whether it is text recognition or picture selection, these complicated annoying verification codes have become a hindrance to normal human access.

Under Google's security blog, people in the comment area believe that the verification code will eventually disappear. Because these "shit" hindered normal users to leave a message in the comment area.丨 Googleblog.com

A 2012 survey report showed that more than 90%of them thought that the use of these verification codes was a bit difficult or very difficult. Some people are dissatisfied with this, and even set up a verification code art group to paint the outrageous verification code.

These verification codes also caused some "innocent people". In order to break through these AI, it is difficult to identify the verification code and distribute the verification code to the pornographic, games and other websites, and require users to enter the verification code before seeing the detailed content. Under the circumstances of unknown, the user helped others "crack" the verification code.

Not only do users dislike, the website is also very headache for the verification code. A study invited 210 participants, and more than half of them needed to enter twice or even two more verification codes to enter correctly. This is a disaster for the website: how many users have to be lost! In order to solve the verification code that caused anger, manufacturers have been working hard. In the new version of the verification code system, Google uses the click button instead of the previous words and diagrams. You just need to click "I am not a robot" selection box, and the system can verify whether you are a robot based on your operating information. Sliding verification and puzzle verification method will also determine whether it is a robot operation by analyzing the user's drag behavior.

You think you only click a button, but in fact, the system will integrate the information such as browsing behaviors and mouse paths to comprehensively judge whether you are "human".丨 Google Developers

The hidden verification code is also continuously developing, and the system will automatically comprehensively evaluate the user by collecting users' operating behavior. However, people also questioned privacy: How much does the system collect my information when I browse the web?

Apple has further launched a private access token this time. It is planned to complete the real person judgment directly at the use of the mobile phone: the mobile phone was unlocked through the password or biological recognition, the browser was opened, and the website was accurately entered ... … These are enough to show that a real person is using a mobile phone. When the judgment is completed, the system will automatically send the "real person notice" to the website to automatically complete the relevant verification.

Apple's cooperation technology company plans to open source related standards, that is, not just Apple users, maybe more and more people in the future can get rid of these annoying verification codes!
