Secure Information Handling System Matrix Bar Code

摘要

An information handling system analyzes secondary information captured with an image of a two-dimensional barcode to perform a function. For example, a mobile phone camera captures an image of a QR code at a product plus characters printed next to the QR code, uses optical code recognition to determine the characters, and applies information from the QR code and the characters to register the product. As another example, a security indicator is captured with an image of the QR code and applied to access information of the QR code, such as by using GPS position information, local network information, or telephone number information to encrypt and/or decrypt information stored in the QR code.

主权项

1. A method for securing information stored with a two-dimensional barcode, the method comprising:
capturing an image of the two-dimensional barcode with an information handling system; capturing a security indicator with the image of the two-dimensional barcode, the security indicator separate from the two-dimensional barcode and introduced by an end user of the information handling system; analyzing the two-dimensional barcode to extract a network address stored in the two-dimensional barcode; communicating the security indicator to the network address; and applying the security indicator at a network location associated with the network address to authorize a function.
