Keeping bots out of online games

We study the problem of restricting participation in online games to human players, so they can enjoy the game without interference from automated playing agents known as bots. We propose a range of techniques, both software and hardware based, to distinguish bots from human players in a wide variety of online games, from poker to “shoot’em ups.”
