  • Enhanced quick response (QR) code scan security
    Patent number: 12443817
    Abstract: Methods and systems for enhanced QR code security are described herein. A computing platform may generate a QR code that includes an information code and a server code. The computing platform may split the QR code into first and second portions, where the first portion includes at least the server code. The computing platform may send, to a QR display device, the first portion for display. The computing platform may receive, from a user device, authentication credentials and a request for the second portion, sent to the computing platform based on identification of the computing platform through scanning, by the user device, the server code at the QR display device. The computing platform may send, based on validating the authentication credentials and to the user device, the second portion, where the user device is configured to re-assemble the QR code based on the first and second portions.

  • Printable intermediate construction incorporating registrably positioned laminate components that can be imaged and then easily formed into a laminated card or decal on demand
    Publication number: 20050001422
    Abstract: A card intermediate having a carrier comprising a fold line defining first and second panels, the first and second panels having provided thereon first and second respective card portions that are in a spaced apart relationship with the fold line. Because of the spaced apart relationship of the card portions, the card intermediate may be more easily manufactured, and further, is more easily formed into a laminated card with excellent precision.
