Utilizing view helpers, all we need to do is do a little prep work; in my case, I use a bootstrap controller that all my controllers extend.

CAPTCHA stands for "Completely Automated Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart;" 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 desire to prevent spam submissions.

Captchas can take variety of forms, including asking logic questions, presenting skewed fonts, and presenting images and asking how they relate. Zend_Captcha aims to provide a variety of backends that may be utilized either standalone or in conjunction with Zend_Form.

Zend_Auth provides an API for authentication and includes concrete authentication adapters for common use case scenarios.
Zend_Auth is concerned only with authentication and not with authorization. Authentication is loosely defined as determining whether an entity actually is what it purports to be (i.e., identification), based on some set of credentials. Authorization, the process of deciding whether to allow an entity access to, or to perform operations upon, other entities is outside the scope of Zend_Auth.

For an upcoming project I intend implementing a RESTful web service. Back a few months ago when tinkering with the idea of a Technorati class for the Zend Framework, a reply from Davey Shafik highlighted the existence of a Zend_Rest_Client proposal. That proposal has since been implemented, and is now available from the Framework's incubator directory. Also available is the focus of this tutorial - Zend_Rest_Server.
