UTYP releases Pictcha for better Spam protection.

Pictcha is a new approach to online security using UTYP Human Computation Technologies. It is both using and feeding a database of picture/keywords associations.
The advantage of using inputs from Forms Validation is that real people have no time to lose when they fill an Online Form. Thus the description accuracy of the keywords is much higher than in game and voluntary environments.

To make it short, this is a simple version of the Voit-Kampf test in Blade Runner - an easy way to identify humans from modern day software.

You can visit the main web page of the subproject:

Crepuscule's Blog section will be on the first users list and you can already check it working in the comment section of this article.

If you are interested in this technology you may directly contact UTYP project owners:
