As one of the widely consumed foods, aquatic products are prone to spoilage and deteriorate in the cold chain. It is very important and necessary to trace and track the aquatic products' quality and safety in the cold chain. This paper aims to develop a quality and safety traceability system integrated with wireless sensor network ( WSN ) and quick response ( QR ) code ( SMS‐CQ ) for aquatic products. This paper analyzed temperature fluctuations of aquatic products in cold‐chain logistics that is implemented and evaluated in an actual cold chain. The results show that compared with the traditional system, SMS‐CQ is an effective quality management tool that leads to real‐time monitoring and tracing of the aquatic products in the cold chain: WSN technology enables SMS‐CQ to automatically realize the real‐time temperature acquisition, wireless remote transmission and monitoring; QR code provides valid means for the QR code generation, error correction and static and sensed dynamic information inquiry. Practical Applications The proposed method could be extended by future researchers or practitioners for future work in many wide areas in cold‐chain monitoring and traceability applications.
... Active attacks include masquerade, replay, modification of messages, and denial of service [11,12].Therefore, security threats (such as eavesdropping, data modification, phishing, website leaks etc.) force us to develop new methods to counter them. Considering QR barcodes as an effective media of sharing information, many researchers have proposed information/data hiding methods [6,7, 8, 9.] as well as online transaction systems [1,2,3,4,5] using QR barcode. In this paper, we describe different information hiding schemes using QR barcode. ...

The grow of smart phone and mobile devices market, has created a new set of opportunities for companies to develop new publicity strategies. One of the most widespread forms of engaging mobile users from printed materials is based on the use of QR codes, which have been adopted for many different applications such as accessing web sites or downloading premium content. In this research work, we will be performing embedding QR code into color image and hiding information using QR code, in order to make them visually appealing to the user while maintaining acceptable decoding robustness. In contrast to previous approaches the methods presented here allows to automatically embedding QR codes into color, grayscale or binary images. These embedding are designed to be compatible with standard decoding applications and can be applied to any color image with full area coverage. The embedding problem is solved by the integration of halftoning method. Finally, we show experimental results of halftoning of color image, embedded QR code image in color image and decoded QR code image from color image.
