Abstract: Web Pages which are meant for user registration or Comment in Blogs or Online Polls or logging in to a web portal or getting indexed in search engines are open to be accessed by scripts. It means it cannot be known whether the page being requested from a Human user or from a machine. There are different Websites who provides specific API to be used by scripts, for example: API for sending SMS through script. But there may be situations where a web page may need to be restricted from script access i.e. user must be a Human Being. Few popular techniques for restricting the web page from script access are “use of CAPTCHA” or “use of OTP”. In this paper a different approach named as “RinG: Random id name Generator” is proposed and then the popularly used approaches have been compared with different parameters.

Keywords: Captcha, OTP (One time Password) , RinG , API.
