W3C Working Draft

In Accessibility is a major concern for us, and for most of our users. This is why we want and need that some authority establish a standard on this particular subject.
Not surprisingly, we are looking forward the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative.

Our will is to help the community to build a standard and to do so, we response to this 'Inaccessibility of Visually-Oriented Anti-Robot Tests Problems and Alternatives' paper, published in November 2003.

I We will comment this paper folowing the table of content

...

About : A hierarchy of needs

About : privilege

I We don't think this one adds value to the paper : implementing security or preserving privilege for certain user are synonym.
Security without privilege is useless, preserving privilege implies implementing security. I'll forgot this one.

About : identity and humanity

...

This concerns two very different problems and thus should be treated as is.
Accessibility of humanity tests (Turing tests) is the subject we are interested in, not accessibility of identity systems.

Note : some identity systems also provide humanity certification, especially the biometric identity system.

About : possible solutions

We distinguish two types of solutions :

• Automated solutions, like CAPTCHA or non public automated turing tests, also known as reverse Turing tests
  It includes solutions 1 : logic puzzles, 2 : sound output and 6 : heuristic checks.

• Manual solutions, like the 4 : live operator, by phone or..., also know as Turing tests.

More to come...
