CAPTCHA TEST
WHEN we create an email or any other account on the internet, one necessary step that we need to complete is to type CAPTCHA. It is usually a picture consisting of random letters, which must be read, recognized, and written in the designated box by the user.
According to a Wikipedia entry, a CAPTCHA is a type of challenge– response test used in computing to determine whether the user is human. It is a type of security measure known as challenge-response authentication. It helps protect you from spam and password decryption by asking you to complete a simple test that proves you are human and not a computer trying to break into a password-protected account. This is a test, which is used on a website to confirm that a real person is on the website. It is used to rule out the possibility that the user is not a software programme trying to deceive this system. The purpose of this arrangement is to prevent fraudsters from misusing online accounts. It is very difficult for a software programme to read the letters written in this picture, but a person can identify these signs easily.
This is an example from which the truth of human life can be understood. We can understand that why difficulties and hardships are needed in life. These difficulties show the difference between a sincere and insincere person. When a sincere person faces difficulties, he works patiently, and plans with a positive mind. On the contrary, an insincere human being is impatient. He adopts negative and reactionary approach. The hardships one faces in life are part of challenge-response test. These hardships give one the opportunity to maintain oneself as an honest and sincere person, to develop a predictable character, and thereby to become a better human being.
