Basically it pulls the server time in background using an ajax call, and implements an MD5 encrypted
value in a hidden field, and then you can double check the timing of form input to sort of verify
that it was real time, and not a form of automated process, by a spambot/robot as such.
Only real issue here is it would require user to have cookies and javascript enabled, but anyway..?
Stay well
