Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for a user-friendly and self-managed CAPTCHA system. Aspects include storing a copy of an image selected from a set of images as a source image. Aspects further include generating a reference image by applying an image obfuscation technique to the image and a challenge image by applying a different image obfuscation technique to the image. Aspects include dividing the challenge image into partitions and placing the partitions randomly on a virtual canvas. Aspects include displaying the reference image and the virtual canvas on a user device requesting to access a protected resource. Aspects include receiving a solution image comprising the partitions of the challenge image arranged by a user from the user device. Aspects also include generating a similarity score by comparing the source image and the solution image. Aspects further include determining that the similarity score is below a threshold value and performing a security action.
