    Actually I think that CAPTCHA supplement cryptography and seems strange to me to be named as Crypt. One suggestion could be "Message_CAPTCHA" or "Text_CAPTCHA" because such class enables information (in your case, plain text) to be hidden in graphic, sound, etc (aka steganography).
I guess the renaming as to do with what you want to convey in the name: - What the package does: "encrypt" something into image, sound, text... then, IHMO, it would fit under Crypt_CAPTCHA. Even though, it's not "standard" cryptography... - What the package is for: tell computers and humans apart, sort of "authentication", then Auth_CAPTCHA - What the package works on: text, so Text_CAPTCHA. But then, you could also use an image instead of wordings as element to identify... I wouldn't go with Tools and Utilities, as they are mostly for stand alone, possibly command line type of packages. -Philippe
