Summary
This document is a technical report detailing DataDome's Slider verification system, an alternative to traditional CAPTCHA methods. It outlines the limitations of conventional CAPTCHAs, particularly their reliance on puzzle difficulty, which has become ineffective against advanced AI solvers. The Slider verification system focuses on observing authentic human behavior through a simple horizontal slide interaction that takes less than two seconds to complete. This method collects behavioral signals that are difficult for bots to replicate, ensuring a high level of bot detection while minimizing user friction. The report describes the two-tiered verification system, which includes invisible verification for low-risk traffic and slider verification for medium-to-high risk traffic. It also discusses the benefits of this approach, such as improved user experience, superior bot detection, accessibility compliance, and flexibility for enterprises. The document concludes with ideal use cases for the Slider verification system, emphasizing its effectiveness in various online interactions.
