title - barcode
Purpose: Used primarily for quick product identification, inventory management, and
pricing.
Overview: Barcodes use a combination of black and white lines (or other patterns) to
encode data.
Types of Barcodes:
o 1D Barcodes: Traditional barcodes (e.g., UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128).
o 2D Barcodes: QR codes, Data Matrix codes, and others that store more
information.
Process: Barcodes are scanned using a scanner or camera, which converts the visual
information into digital data.
Scanning Process: Barcode scanners use a laser or camera to capture the barcode's
pattern.
o The scanner decodes the pattern and converts it into a digital signal that the
computer can process.
Image: Visual of different types of barcode scanners (laser, CCD, and camera-based).

Text CAPTCHA:
Google’s reCAPTCHA asks users to click on images matching a given description (traffic
lights, bicycles, etc.).
Math CAPTCHA:
Helps visually impaired users by reading out a set of distorted characters or numbers.
Uses analysis of user behavior (mouse movement, clicks) to determine human behavior
without explicit input from the user.
Basic Structure:
Distort the string visually and add noise (lines, dots) to make it hard for bots to interpret.
The server checks if the input matches the generated CAPTCHA string.
Image: A simple flowchart showing the CAPTCHA process from user interaction to
verification.
Explanation: This code generates a random 6-character string, stores it in a session, and
displays it as a PNG image.
Security Benefits:
Bot Prevention: CAPTCHA helps prevent automated bots from accessing certain website
features.
Spam Prevention: Helps block automated spam in forms, emails, and account sign-ups.
Limitations:
User Experience: Some users find CAPTCHAs difficult or annoying, especially if they are
visually impaired.
Bypassing CAPTCHAs: Advanced bots use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to bypass
text-based CAPTCHA.
Accessibility Issues: CAPTCHAs may not be suitable for all users, especially those with
disabilities.
How it Works: reCAPTCHA can offer a simple checkbox ("I'm not a robot") for users,
analyzing their behavior to detect whether they are human. It also supports image-
based CAPTCHAs.
Benefits: More secure and user-friendly, with options like invisible CAPTCHA and risk
analysis.
Image: Google reCAPTCHA logo or example of the "I'm not a robot" checkbox.
