Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for secure utilization of quick response (QR) codes. An example method includes obtaining a key known to the initiating device and a participating device, and identifying, by QR code processing circuitry of the initiating device, a payload to be encoded in a QR code. The example method further includes generating, by security circuitry of the initiating device and based on the payload and the key, a secure character string, creating, by the QR code processing circuitry of the initiating device, the QR code using the secure character string, and outputting the QR code by the communications hardware of the initiating device.
