Encoding of QR Code

Format information record two thing :

Error Correction

Mask Pattern

Masking is used to break up patterns in the data area


that might confuse a scanner

Mask pattern are defined on a grid that is repeated as


necessary to cover symbol.

The format information is protected from errors with


BCH Code

Two complete copies are included in each QR symbols

Error Correction

QR Code uses 8 bit codeword and use Reed Solomon


Error Correction to correct Wounded QR Code

The block size is chosen so that at most 15 errors can be


corrected in each block

The approx. error correction capability at different


level are:

Level L (High) - 7% codewords can be restored

Level M (High) - 15% codewords can be restored

Level Q (High) - 25% codewords can be restored

Level H (High) - 30% codewords can be restored

Risk involved in QR Code

QR code can carry executable data is the URL data type

URL may host JavaScript code and can be used to


exploit vulnerabilities

Malicious QR Code combined with permission reader can


put computer on risk.

Practice is known as at tagging, a portmanteau of


attack tagging

Linking to dangerous website that enable analysis of


sensitive data.

Corrupting privacy setting

Print Size of QR Code

Minimum size for printed QR code module of 0.03 inches


(0.76 mm)
