Definition: What is A Turing Test?
This technique, also known as challenge/response, consists of sending an e-mail requesting authentication (by reproducing a displayed code) to the sender of the message in order to verify its actual physical existence. Used on its own, this technology has a number of disadvantages (filtering work is transferred to the message sender, messages are systematically sent, often unsolicited, and false positives are generated).
Examples
Example of an authentication page, requesting a code to authenticate the sender.
