`Zend\Captcha` component is able to manage “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart” (CAPTCHA); it is used as a challenge-response to ensure that the individual submitting information is a human and not an automated process. Typically, a captcha is used with form submissions where authenticated users are not necessary, but you want to prevent spam submissions.
