Securing Physical Government Identification Cards Using QR Code Encoding and Multi-Factor Authentication

  • Harivardan M, Sanjith V, Shakthi Saravanan S

Abstract

This paper seeks to explain the need and means to improve the security of Government issued ID cards which contain sensitive data which is explicitly shown. This can potentially lead to data theft and misuse. So, in order to combat such heinous crimes, in this paper we propose a solution wherein we use secured QR codes along with multi-factor authentication, which would allow only authorized users to gain access to the information present in the card. Furthermore, the ID card can be deactivated when users misplace their card.
