Deep-Fake CAPTCHA: Mitigating Next-Generation Social Engineering Attacks

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 10, 2026 · UTC

This paper presents DF-CAPTCHA, an active defense against real-time deepfake impersonation in voice and video calls. Instead of passively searching for artifacts, DF-CAPTCHA prompts the caller to perform simple challenge-response tasks that are easy for humans but difficult for current real-time deepfake systems to generate convincingly. The framework verifies the response using four criteria: realism, identity consistency, task completion, and response time. We evaluate the approach across both audio and video modalities using user studies and experiments with real-time deepfake models. Resul
