QR Code
Type: component
PROBLEM
Some verification scenarios need a visual code that any camera phone can read without specialized equipment.
SOLUTION
The QR Code is the Human Registrar's visual identity token, a dynamically generated 40 by 40 module QR code encoded at error correction level H that encodes the registrant's identity token and a cryptographic signature timestamp, regenerated every 60 seconds to prevent static code sharing between individuals attempting to share a single verified identity across multiple simultaneous locations, which was a use case the team discovered during beta testing and addressed immediately. The QR code is printed on the Identity License in static form for document-verification contexts and is available as a live rotating display in the Human Registrar mobile app for dynamic verification contexts. Any compliant Human Registrar reader can scan and verify the code in under one second. Any non-compliant camera will capture the code but receive only the identity token string, which is useless without database access, which requires a seven dollar per month subscription, which is the point.
