OCR readings records acquired from product testing.
Sebastian checking with supervisor regarding which section of the technical report should we include the OCR reading result acquired from product testing.
OCR readings records can be either under
- Test plans
- Conclusions
- Product analysis
Brute force attack calculation.
Team checking with Supervisor regarding the brute force attack information.
Below are the calculation explained by Supervisor:
CAPTCHA text is formed by 8 characters with a choice of 46 characters in each position.
46 pow 8 = 20,047,612,231,936 sample space
To get brute force attack computation time required:
(sample space /2) . time taken
time taken = time needed by our system in order to validate a single end user’s answer.
Time taken is to the time needed by our system in order to validate a single end user’s answer.
Discuss with Supervisor regarding Session 1 presentation.
Supervisor reviewed the contents of team presentation slides and feedback :
- RUP methodology should be explained briefly.
- Highlight the differences between our CAPTCHA and those in the market
- Advisable to show the calculation of the brute force attack on our CAPTCHA.
- Advisable to explain the resources used to generate our CAPTCHA image
- Advisable to demo or show some OCR readings on our CAPTCHA
- Suggested using a wireless modem to provide access point to allow mobile phones to connect to.
- Advisable to provide handouts for final presentation
Progress Report submission by team leader
Sebastian submitted Progress Report for session 1 to Supervisor. Some of the suggestion by Supervisor regarding the report format.
- Advice to show our process base on gantt chart that we proposed in proposal.
- Advice to write a summary of what we have done in phase 1.
- Advice to write what we are going to do in phase 2.
Additional CAPTCHA design features suggestion.
LEXIS suggested include additional CAPTCHA feature which allow customers to edit the CAPTCHA design effects to suite their application. Supervisor has reviewed and will confirm with Adrian Choo to see whether the adding feature will be considers as part of the project scope or is the extra features.- Supervisor advice team to come out with a non-text based CAPTCHA in order to score high points.
New CAPTCHA design suggestion.
LEXIS suggested to design a animated CAPTCHA which require end users interaction. It requires end users to use the mouse pointer to point the path in order for an object X to move from A to B. In the meantime, there will be some objects like rock or tree which might block the object X from moving in a straight path. Hence it need end users to find a way in order to reach B which only human can do.
But this design will not be able to apply to mobile devices usage. Supervisor will confirm with Adrian Choo regarding the new design suggested which it only allows to run in computer platform.
