Abstract

In this paper a new algorithms for understanding processes and cognitive management will be presented. We propose the use of visual CAPTCHA protocols for data security and cognitive analysis dedicated to authentication procedures. The idea behind a new CAPTCHA generating method depicted in this article was to create a scheme that is difficult to break, by applying various forms of letters distortion and introducing different types of added noise. Scheme generating algorithm was designed with the knowledge of image processing methods such as detection and recognition techniques, commonly used by CAPTCHA breaking software. Cognitive features of the presented solution could be applied in the field of information understanding, semantic description and authentication procedures. CAPTCHA generating algorithm presented here was implemented in MATLAB.
