The association of cognitive neuroscience and information security: captcha security measure

Abstract

Recent research on information security recognized the exclusion of human behavior
assessment as the main limitation. Cognitive neuroscience tools and methods are required. The
CAPTCHA security measure is an example of the association of information security and
cognitive neuroscience in order to provide the security oriented to humans rather than technical
solutions only. The CAPTCHA security measure aims to distinguish humans from robots by
encouraging us to decide is the visually presented item meaningful or not. This article presents
relevant cognitive neuroscience tools and evidence due to the assessment of processing of
words and codes for the information security purpose. Further empirical research on different
age groups is recommended, especially research that include experimental and control groups
in order to prove the effectiveness of cognitive neuroscience tools in the field of information
security.
