  • QR Code has been used in various forms such as simple business cards and URLs. Recently, the influence of Corona 19 Fundemik has led to the use of QR Codes to track travel routes through visits and entry / exit records, and QR Code usage has skyrocketed. In this way, most people have come to use it in the masses and are constantly under threat. In the case of QR Code, you do not know what you are doing until you execute it. Therefore, if you undoubtedly execute a QR Code with a malicious URL inserted, you will be directly exposed to security threats. Therefore, this paper provides a cloud-based malware QR Code detection system that can make a normal connection only when there is no abnormality after determining whether it is a malicious QR Code when scanning the QR Code.

  • This paper shows the way to prevent the leaking of private information due to malicious codes or connections of invalid URL in QR-Codes, which is used in the present smart-phone. It is difficult to filter out the connections directly with decoding the QR-Codes, so before connecting, we construct servers which compare results of decoding the QR-Codes to a valid URL. The server notifies warning to Smart-phone users if the results were uncertain URLs which did not registered in the server. This paper would help the Smart-phone users to protect their privacy.
