Assume we want to protect a document against manipulating and forging. So, we encode some sensitive information of the document and store it in a QR-code inserted in the document.



Can we be sure that an attacker is not able to change and modify the stored data in the QR-code? And if it is possible to modify it, how is it difficult for an attacker to do it? In other words, how a QR-code is secure?

          ... how a QR-code is secure?




          Data in a QR code are kind of protected against accidental damage by having some error correction but they are not protected against deliberate manipulation. Also, an attacker might completely replace the QR code in the document with a different one.
