Abstract
An indication is obtained of interaction of a putative human user with a computing device. Responsive to the indication, presentation of a haptic pattern to the putative human user is facilitated; the pattern is not amenable to machine perception. Prompting of the putative human user to input information indicative of human perception of the pattern is facilitated. Information input by the putative human user is obtained responsive to the prompting. When the information input by the putative human user indicates that the putative human user is an actual human user, the interaction is permitted to continue. Haptic techniques are also provided for access control and/or to defend against malevolent web sites which masquerade as legitimate web sites.
