hello: i do not have any links but i wanted to make sure that you understand that use of math problems is not an accessible answer to the problem. using math problems assumes that every one has the ability to do math. if a math problem is used your locking out people that have a cognitive disability and or learning disability. my personal favorite way to deal with the problem is a honey pot. we have a reel problem with spammers and we need a better option to solve it then blocking large groups of people from using the web. lucy Lucia Greco Web Accessibility Evangelist IST - Architecture, Platforms, and Integration University of California, Berkeley (510) 289-6008 skype: lucia1-greco http://webaccess.berkeley.edu Follow me on twitter @accessaces On Mon, Sep 9, 2019 at 2:17 PM Karen Lewellen <klewellen@shellworld.net> wrote: > Hi all, > I am currently involved in a discussion on the Google accessibility list > regarding the use of math problems as a form of captcha. the individual > is stating that such a substitution carries no security whatsoever. > Given the places where I have personally, and thankfully found the math > problem verification present, I am wanting to share the recent w3c > information on their use. > Can anyone give me a simple link to a relevant section, or share an > article discussing math problems as captcha challenges with their pros / > cons? > Thanks, > Karen > > >
