Abstract

The term CAPTCHA was introduced as the Turing test that claims to classify human and robot which may intend to intervene in the security traits of a database. CAPTCHA stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.” CAPTCHA has been represented in various customs such as distorted texts, 3D texts, audio, graphical, gaming and many more. The recent approach is gaming CAPTCHA which is a bit heavier for the server to load over a browser. The logic behind the gaming CAPTCHA is dealing with dragging and dropping object to the target position which does not belong to the hard AI problems. Gaming CAPTCHA is a time-consuming and complicated approach which confuses users to deal with the games. Turing test or CAPTCHA should be as easier as possible for human and almost impossible for bots. Here the proposed system is able to provide a new challenge of CAPTCHA in front of users that forms a hybrid text illusion which only deals with human’s partial vision certainty. Hybrid text illusion signifies that a word observed by normal eyes actually gets differ from partially opened eyes. A user is required to recognize the partial one which is not possible with normal eyesight even a robot is not able to recognize by using any kind of text scanning approaches. It is a new generation CAPTCHA which creates illusion where only human can deal with.
