Abstract
In recent years, QR code has been widely used in the Internet and
mobile devices. It is based on open standards and easy to generate a code, which
lead to that anyone can generate their own QR code. Because the QR code does not
have the ability of information hiding, any device can access the content in QR
code. Thus, hiding the secret data in QR code becomes a hot topic. Previously, the
information hiding methods based on QR code all use the way of information
hiding based on image, mostly using digital watermarking technology, and not
using the coding rules of QR code to hide information. Therefore, we propose a
distributed information sharing method based on QR code information hiding. On
the one hand, we can start from the coding rules of QR code and use the
information hiding method to maximize the capacity of secret information
embedded in QR code. On the other hand, the distributed information sharing
method is used to decentralize. At the same time, experimental results and analysis
show that the proposed scheme can prevent the attack of camouflage attacker, and
finally recover hidden information by secret reconstruction.
