Manipulation and secure communication of encoded visual representations of data

Abstract:

Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for securely communicating data via encoded scannable codes. Techniques include identifying data to be communicated, identifying fictive data, accessing a manipulation factor, generating a scannable code comprising codes corresponding to the data and fictive data manipulated according to the manipulation factor, and making the code available for decoding by a scanning device. Further techniques include scanning a scannable code via a scanning device, separating the scannable code into multiple codes according to a manipulation factor, decoding the code(s) corresponding to the data to obtain the data, and refraining from decoding the code(s) corresponding to the fictive data. Techniques relating to other embodiments include identifying multiple data elements to be communicated, accessing multiple manipulation factors, generating a plurality of manipulated scannable codes corresponding to the data elements, and making the scannable codes available for decoding by a scanning device.
