Abstract

Bots are created to use the resources maliciously on World Wide Web. The misuse of the resources could be prevented by employing CAPTCHAs. Several types of CAPTCHAs are being used against the bots (robot) attacks but text-based CAPTCHA type is the most popular being very secured and easy to use. Latin language based text CAPTCHAs can be found ubiquitously on Internet but English text based CAPTCHAs are already decoded by many researchers. Thus, a novel Sindhi language based text CAPTCHA was proposed for regional websites where Arabic style script was utilized. This scheme offered two fold benefits: first, the proposed scheme could easily be understood by averagely literate person; second, this scheme paved a way for Arabic style OCR developers to understand Sindhi language specific features and facilitate Sindhi text recognition in future. A survey was also conducted to analyze the usability and strength of proposed CAPTCHA.
