CAPTCHA

Google develops invisible web security Captcha form

The website security checks will probably disappear in favour of a new system developed by Google: Captcha. This new system ask people to complete a puzzle that a computer would have struggle to complete correctly.

They are designed to stop automated bots using websites.

Google's new system tracks how persons interact with websites to prove they're real, so the puzzles are no longer necessary.

The Captcha checks can appear when someone is trying to log in to a website with the wrong password.

The puzzles are simply challenges for people but computers can find it more difficult. Those puzzles can be:

• Identifying photographs of dogs in a gallery of animal pictures.
• Typing numbers from a photograph of a road sign into a box.
• Listening to somebody reading out numbers over music and typing the numbers into a box.

The puzzles benefit companies, as Google, by helping train artificial intelligence algorithms. But for users this may be a nuisance.

Google has already simplified the process asking users to tick a check box on the website they're using. The box controls how persons interacted with it to separate human clicks from bots.

The latest actualization removes the check box and instead analyses how people have interacted with other elements on a website. But some suspicious activities will still trigger a puzzle.

This kind of control system is very necesary in our lives. We are a society connected to Internet and websites and we have to protect ourselves from hackers and others interactons from bots.
