Darwin: A Ground Truth Agnostic Captcha Generator Using Evolutionary Algorithm, Eric Y. Chen, Lin-Shung Huang, Ole J. Mengshoel, Jason D. Lohn

Ole J Mengshoel

We designed and implemented Darwin, the first CAPTCHA generator using evolutionary algorithm. We evaluated the effectiveness of our proposed CAPTCHAs with MTurk users (non-attackers) and Antigate workers (attackers). Due to our ground-truth agnostic fitness function, we are able to discover a new category of CAPTCHAs in which attackers answer correctly but non-attackers answer incorrectly.
