Vision

Why OSCF exists.

Latest version

AGVS Draft v0.1

This section is part of the current public OSCF documentation draft.

Core belief

Security systems should not exclude the very people they claim to protect.

Accessible interaction is not a feature layer. It is part of the security model itself.

Why traditional approaches fail

Traditional CAPTCHA-style systems often assume:

  • vision-first interaction
  • distorted audio as a fallback
  • narrow motor expectations
  • poor usability under pressure

These assumptions create avoidable barriers.

Long-term direction

  • Replace inaccessible CAPTCHA patterns with accessible verification systems.
  • Establish open controls and conformance models for accessible security.
  • Enable adoption in banking, public services, SaaS, and regulated sectors.

Strategic ambition

OSCF is designed to become:

  • a public reference for accessible security design
  • a framework for auditable conformance
  • a foundation for future standards beyond AGVS
