QR code<\/p><\/div>\n

Technology evolves daily. The type of evolution that I particularly enjoy learning about, is that of existing standards.<\/p>\n

QR codes<\/strong><\/a> have been around for almost 20 years, and yet they just seem to have taken off due to the explosive growth of smart phone ownership.<\/p>\n

The cryptic squares can take one to a web site or convert to a special text message even; the immediate conversion of a visible QR code to a destination on the Internet is definitely fascinating.<\/p>\n

Enter, the invisible QR codes<\/strong><\/a>, a step towards seamless integration of security and validation onto traditional media such as bank notes or documents.<\/p>\n

By embedding those faint, yet scannable QR codes onto official or valuable materials, one can check their authenticity and can efficiently block their replication and counterfeiting.<\/p>\n

Invisible QR codes are thus an important step to a validation of tangible items, using a combination of invisible inks and intelligent QR readers.<\/p>\n

Will this be the next trend in domain registrations as well?<\/p>\n
