In which cases is the secure QR code recommended ?

In all types of professional use of the QR code, one can wonder about the expected level of security :

2. If your QR code triggers an action (such as a removal or service request): If the QR code is not secure, malicious users can inject bogus requests into your system.
3. If you use QR code to place orders at the table, unscrupulous competitors could place bogus orders on you and waste your time and money.

How does Ubiqod Key secure your operations ?

A secure QR code that changes regularly

Ubiqod Key displays a QR code that changes at regular intervals (default 10 minutes, can be customized for large volumes). Therefore, if a user makes a picture of the QR code and tries to reuse it later, it will be detected by our system. The invalidation time is approximatly equal to 2 times the refresh frequency. In most cases, this value is sufficient to avoid cheating. It can be combine with other security systems of Ubiqod to identify fraud attempts.

High level of security

Ubiqod Key is a patented technology which uses random increments encrypted in AES 128. Each time a code is scanned, the Skiply server authenticates the request with a digital certificate.

Wireless and not connected

Ubiqod Key does not require any connectivity. The technology uses the smartphone of users to transmit data. Battery lifetime is generally 12 months for a standard 10 minutes refresh interval, at 20°C and with quality batteries.
