  • Publication number: 20240127016
    Abstract: To make it possible to determine authenticity of a two-dimensional code used for guidance to various kinds of websites, advertisement, or authentication or the like. A terminal apparatus 10 acquires a first two-dimensional code to be a determination target and a plurality of pieces of first additional information for determining authenticity of the first two-dimensional code. A server apparatus 30 that communicates with the terminal apparatus 10 via a communication network 20 includes a database DB in which a plurality of pieces of second additional information are registered in advance in association with identification information corresponding to a two-dimensional code guaranteed to be authentic. The terminal apparatus 10 determines the authenticity of the first two-dimensional code by determining whether the plurality of pieces of first additional information are registered in the database DB.
