“…Research on handwritten Arabic text-based CAPTCHAs has been relatively sparse, with only a few studies addressing this domain [2,4,[13][14][15]. One such study [2] leveraged the KHATT database [16] to generate handwritten Arabic CAPTCHAs.…”

A ubiquitous challenge-response mechanism, the Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA), primarily serves to distinguish between human users and automated bots. The presented work introduces an innovative Arabic CAPTCHA gamification system designed to concurrently address two critical aspects. The first aspect is centered on the pedagogical application of the system, particularly its employment in teaching young learners the Arabic alphabet. This is achieved by posing interactive queries based on displayed word images, thereby facilitating the practice and enhancement of Arabic letter recognition and typing proficiencies. The second aspect integrates a cybersecurity awareness component into the system. As learners engage with the game and advance through its levels, they are concurrently exposed to pertinent information and guidance regarding cyber threats and safe online practices. This dualpurpose approach serves to inform and empower learners, providing them with the necessary skills to navigate the digital landscape securely. The novelty of this work lies in the fusion of these two aspects, offering a uniquely comprehensive learning experience that not only bolsters language skills but also cultivates cybersecurity awareness, a critical facet of digital literacy in our increasingly interconnected world. To the authors' knowledge, this work represents the inaugural implementation of an Arabic CAPTCHA gamification system, making it an advantageous resource for anyone seeking to learn Arabic letters and word formations.

“…In addition, an approach entitled Arabic reCAPTCHA was discussed in some studies [14][15][16][17][18] and was developed for enhancing the digitization of Arabic manuscripts. In particular, Bakry et al [14] proposed the use of a reCAPTCHA (AreCAPTCHA) system that can be used to digitize Arabic text through native Arabic speakers.…”

“…The Arabic reCAPTCHA service was designed in such a way as to have an architecture based on the use of the Cloud by the authors in Abubaker [16] and [17]. In addition, more features and enhancements were introduced in Abubaker [18] to extend studies [16] and [17]. In 2017, Alsuhibany et al [19] evaluated the robustness of the Arabic text-based CAPTCHA.…”

Recently, with the spread of online services involving websites, attackers have the opportunity to expose these services to malicious actions. To protect these services, A Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a proposed technique. Since many Arabic countries have developed their online services in Arabic, Arabic text-based CAPTCHA has been introduced to improve the usability for their users. Moreover, there exist a visual cryptography (VC) technique which can be exploited in order to enhance the security of text-based CAPTCHA by encrypting a CAPTCHA image into two shares and decrypting it by asking the user to stack them on each other. However, as yet, the implementation of this technique with regard to Arabic text-based CAPTCHA has not been carried out. Therefore, this paper aims to implement an Arabic printed and handwritten text-based CAPTCHA scheme based on the VC technique. To evaluate this scheme, experimental studies are conducted, and the results show that the implemented scheme offers a reasonable security and usability levels with text-based CAPTCHA itself.
