Abstract: -Cyber security is an important issue to tackle. Various user authentication methods are used for this purpose. It helps to avoid misuse or illegal use of highly sensitive data. Text and graphical passwords are mainly used for authentication purpose. But due to various flaws, they are not reliable for data security. Text passwords are insecure for reasons and graphical are more secured in comparison but are vulnerable to shoulder surfing attacks. Hence by using graphical password system and CAPTCHA technology a new security primitive is proposed. We call it as CAPTCHA as gRaphical Password (CaRP). CaRP is a combination of both a CAPTCHA and a graphical password scheme. In this paper we conduct a comprehensive survey of existing CaRP techniques namely ClickText, ClickAnimal and AnimalGrid. We discuss the strengths and limitations of each method and point out research direction in this area. We also try to answer “Are CaRP as secured as graphical passwords and text based passwords?” and “Is CARP protective to relay attack?”
