Abstract
- Nowadays, QRCode is popular and being used in businesses especially on products. Somehow, to make QRCode more functional, we propose the new technique to embed secret data on QRcode in order to communicate secretly between sender and receiver such as commercial transaction and etc. So, all embedded data must be concealed and must not increase too much burden to system process. This proposed technique is based on Steganography method. It was experimented by using RGB Channel and 3 x 3 RGB Channel. For the experimental results, we found that using the 3 x 3 RGB Channel presented more efficiency than RGB Channel.
