We present a security analysis of several gesture CAPTCHA challenges designed to operate on mobiles. Mobile gesture CAPTCHA challenges utilize the accelerometer and the gyroscope inputs from a mobile to allow a human to solve a simple test by physically manipulating the device. We have evaluated the security of gesture CAPTCHA in mobile devices and found them resistant to a range of common automated attacks. Our study has shown that using an accelerometer and the gyroscope readings as an input to solve the CAPTCHA is difficult for malware, but easy for a real user. Gesture CAPTCHA is effective in differentiating between humans and machines.

We present novel CAPTCHA challenges based on user gestures designed for mobile. A gesture CAPTCHA challenge is a security mechanism to prevent malware from gaining access to network resources from mobile. Mobile devices contain a number of sensors that record the physical movement of the device. We utilized the accelerometer and gyroscope data as inputs to our novel CAPTCHAs to capture the physical manipulation of the device. We conducted an experimental study on a group of people. We discovered that younger people are able to solve this type of CAPTCHA challenges successfully in a short amount of time. We found that using accelerometer readings produces issues for some older people.
