Re: CAPTCHA Update--An extended opportunity

Hi, John:

Thanks for this pointer. I believe we've addressed the issues you cover
in the three blog posts you reference though perhaps not always
explicitly.

Example: We do not discuss that a third party (e.g. family member) might
be enrolled as an authenticated user action authenticator because this
is not a document of techniques for persons with disabilities on how to
survive a world of CAPTCHA deployments. It's aimed instead at developer
communities. Thus, this point becomes irrelevant because there's no
restriction on, or validation of device ownership in the enrollment
process that would preclude listing a trusted third party's smart phone,
for instance, as a backup authenticating device.

It may be that you would find additional explication in functional
descriptions we provide valuable. Such submissions are welcome and
unlikely to be properly drafted by those of us inexperienced in COGA
work.

Also, there's a statement I didn't understand ...

See the first 3 blog posts of this list<https://clearhelper.blog/?s=CAPTCHA>. I hope you find something helpful.

What do you mean by:

* have the advantage of comprehending the meaning of words or images

I guess I don't understand how comprehension affects satisfying a visual
CAPTCHA.

If the meaning is that many people with cognitive disabilities find it
difficult to satisfy an a CAPTCHA that requires replication of an
arbitrary sequence of characters that do not form a meaningful word or
phrase, that could be a useful addition to the visual CAPTCHA section.
However, the following note.

NOTE: The current CAPTCHA draft essentially deprecates visual CAPTCHA, and we
note the industry has moved beyond them in the greater degree. They're
no longer considered particularly secure. In fact we note a vicious
cycle relating CAPTCHA solving to A-I development by quoting Google on
that point.


Thanks for the prompt response. Happy to discuss further.

Janina

> While APA's recent Call for Consensus agreed on publishing a second wide review CAPTCHA draft, we were unable to announce our publication widely as we had expected to do. This is because the announcement of a new agreement between W3C and WHAT was published at the same time we intended to post our review request. We did not want to compete, or overshadow the important development with HTML.

Rather, it discusses functional impediments faced by people with disabilities in specific CAPTCHA approaches. Therefore, we're most interested in hearing of any functional impediments not currently covered for specific CAPTCHA approaches. We are also particularly interested in any CAPTCHA approaches we may have not discussed.
