That is - require TBB user to prove he's human exactly once, and then
reuse this data across the browsing session, without losing anonymity.
This is not CloudFlare specific idea, there are many other providers using
captcha. We could have a generic technology for proving "i'm-a-human".
Building the infrastructure for a zero-knowledge proof system sounds like
a fascinating but expensive and long-term project. And I wouldn't be
confident that CloudFlare would even adopt such a thing once it became
available, unless they made a significant investment in the work at the
beginning.
Personally I am more interested in what near-term adjustments CloudFlare
could make to reduce the CAPTCHA burden on Tor users, which seems to be
unnecessarily high. Marek, do you have any thoughts about my suggestions
for reducing CAPTCHA use in comment:17?
