Candidate recommendation
A candidate recommendation is a version of the standard that is more firm than the Working Draft. At this point, the group responsible for the standard is satisfied that the standard does what is needed of it. The purpose of the CR is to elicit aid from the development community as to how implementable the standard is. The standard document may change further, but at this point, significant features are mostly locked. The design of those features can still change due to feedback from implementers.
Captcha
CAPTCHA is an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart". It is a type of challengeresponse test used in computing to determine whether or not the user is human.
The term was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper of Carnegie Mellon University and John Langford of IBM. The most common type of CAPTCHA was first invented by Mark D. Lillibridge, Martin Abadi, Krishna Bharat and Andrei Z. Broder. This form of CAPTCHA requires that the user type the letters of a distorted image, sometimes with the addition of an obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen, which cannot
be done by a machine.
