What is CAPTCHA?
CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." In simpler terms, it's a test that helps us determine whether a user is a real person or a computer program pretending to be one. You may have encountered these tests as distorted letters, image selections, or simple math questions. These tests are easy for humans to solve but difficult for computer programs, providing an extra layer of security.
Why do we need CAPTCHA?
In an era where information is valuable, it's crucial to maintain high levels of security, especially in the legal field where sensitive information is often exchanged. Some computer programs are designed to impersonate real users for unauthorized activities, like gaining access to accounts and data. CAPTCHA serves an an initial barrier against such unauthorized activities by enduring that only genuine human users can proceed.
