Abstract
Computer technology for sending an image a device to be authenticated. The image is designed to be classified to a first category by an image classifier, and the first category is different from a nature category of the image. A response message can be received from the device. The response message indicates a second category of the image determined by the device. Then, the device is determined to be an authorized device in response to the second category being consistent with the first category.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- sending, by one or more processors, an image to a device, wherein the image is adapted to be classified to a first category by an image classifier, and wherein the first category is different from an actual category of the image;
- receiving, by one or more processors, a response message from the device, wherein the response message indicates a second category of the image determined by the device;
- and
- determining, by one or more processors, the device to be an authorized device in response to the second category being consistent with the first category.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having stored thereon:
- program instructions to send an image to a device, wherein the image is adapted to be classified to a first category by an image classifier, and wherein the first category is different from an actual category of the image;
- program instructions to receive a response message from the device, wherein the response message indicates a second category of the image determined by the device;
- and
- program instructions to determine the device to be an authorized device in response to the second category being consistent with the first category.
A computer system comprising:
- a processor(s) set;
- and
- a computer readable storage medium;
- wherein:
- the processor set is structured, located, connected and/or programmed to run program instructions stored on the computer readable storage medium;
- and
- the stored program instructions include:
- program instructions to send an image to a device, wherein the image is adapted to be classified to a first category by an image classifier, and wherein the first category is different from an actual category of the image;
- program instructions to receive a response message from the device, wherein the response message indicates a second category of the image determined by the device;
- and
- program instructions to determine the device to be an authorized device in response to the second category being consistent with the first category.
