Bubble Captcha - A Start of the New Direction of Text Captcha Scheme Development
Abstract
CAPTCHA, A Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, is
well-known system widely used in all sorts of internet services around the world designated to secure the web
from an automatic malicious activity. For almost two decades almost every system utilize a simple approach to
this problem containing a transcription of distorted letters from image to a text eld. The ground idea is to use
imperfection of Optical Character Recognition algorithms against the computers. The development of Optical
Character recognition algorithms leads only to state, where the CAPTCHA schemes become more complex and
human users have a great di culty with the transcription.
This paper aims to present a new way of development of CAPTCHA schemes based more a human perception.
The goal of this work is to implement new Captcha scheme and assess human capability to read unusual fonts
newer seen before.
