Abstract
Quick response code (QR code) is employed due to its benefits, especially in the area of mobile payments. In the transaction process, however, there is an unavoidable risk. It is challenging to identify the attacker's tampering with the QR code carrying the recipient account for the merchant. As a result, verifying QR codes is critical. In this study, we propose a methodology to secure the payment method. This method encrypts the payment process using the visual cryptography scheme (VCS) and AES secret key techniques. The first step is to use the (2,2) VCS to divide the original QR code into two shares; secondly, we are applying the AES algorithm in one share and adding a secret key to this share. Then both shares are distributed. First one sent to the user using a cloud server and second one directly to the applicant desk. The two shares can then be properly stacked, and the same QR code is recreated using the specified VCS.
