Abstract
2D barcode becomes a famous technology in information security issue in this decade. We propose a security mechanism improvement method by applying the error correction with random segmentation (ECRS) technique. In this paper, we use private key array for segmentation of the original texts be-fore merging the segmented texts whose were encoded by using error correction coding approach. Our proposed method has two advantages when com-pare with the traditional Reed-Solomon error correction coding algorithm. On one hand, our ECRS performs random segmentation using multiple redundant code to protect data. On the other hand, the ECRS protects the code from being falsified by using encryption keys. Our experiments manifest that the proposed method improves the security degree of significance while just only few sacrificing coding times.
