HISTORY
 TermCAPTCHA was coined in 2000 by Luis
von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas Hopper and
John Langford of Carnegie Mellon
University.
 CAPTCHAtechnology has its origin from the
experiment called Turing Test.
TURING TEST
 Turing Test was introduced by Alan Turing in 1950.
 The basic premise is whether a human judge can
determine whether he is talking to a machine or another
human.
CAPTCHA – Reverse Turing Test
A reverse Turing test is a Turing test in which the objective
or roles between computers and humans have been
reversed.

 Judge = CAPTCHA program,

 Participant = user
if user passes CAPTCHA,
he is human
if user fails,
it is a machine
NEED OF CAPTCHA

 Protecting Email Addresses from Scrapers
 Online Polls
 Preventing Dictionary Attacks
 Online Ticket Booking
