    Confident Technologies is a new company created by Curtis Staker and William Goldback that deals with web security and the authentication of site’s users.

    In the next couple of weeks, Staker and Goldback will release a new Captcha called ConfidentCaptcha which is an image based captcha .

    The ConfidentCaptcha was born due to the fact that on each day of the week, 200 million Captchas are presented all over the online sphere and yet it seems like they don’t do their job properly – not only that bots find ways to bypass the captcha test, 20% of websites are abandoned simply because “people can’t read those squiggly characters”!!!

    The ConfidentCaptcha should make it easier for internet users to decipher the captcha image while preventing bots to do so and by that to increase the online security of all kinds of websites.  The ConfidentCaptcha presents an image grid not of letters and numbers but of objects such as  refrigerators, houses or people.
    So simple and yet brilliant. Don’t you think?

    In case you haven’t heard about it – the phpBB website was running a captcha plugin competition.
    New entries are not allowed anymore, meaning we can get to see some new captcha plugins very soon now.
    This captcha plugin competition was held because of the upcoming release of phpBB new version (phpBB 3.0.6) which will include a completely new captcha system.
    Niceeee…
