This paper introduces a novel approach for encoding information in PDF documents or similar files. The proposed encoding involves a dual-step method: firstly, the information is encoded in base64, and subsequently, it is uploaded in a user-selected color, while the rest of the colors contain dummy information. Merging of the encoded segments results in a single QR code. The Literature Review subsection investigates the usage of similar methods for information encoding, followed by a comparison of the luminance of the generated QR code with theoretical expectations. Finally, diverse use cases are presented. The proposed methodology is presented:•Compare the results obtained from the theorical approximation with those acquired in the merged QR code.•Use cases: encoding text sample to obtain a counterfeit system.•Results, contributions, and future work.
本文介绍了一种在PDF文档或类似文件中编码信息的新方法。所提出的编码涉及一种双步方法:首先,信息以Base64编码,随后,它以用户选择的颜色上传,而其余颜色包含虚拟信息。将编码段合并会生成一个单一的二维码。文献综述部分研究了类似信息编码方法的使用情况,随后将生成的二维码的亮度与理论预期进行了比较。最后,展示了不同的用例。提出的方法如下:
• 将理论近似得到的结果与合并后的二维码中获得的结果进行比较。
• 用例:对文本样本进行编码以获得一个伪造系统。
• 结果、贡献和未来工作。
