摘要

This paper presents a secure framework for storing and sharing records using QR codes enhanced with Rubik-LSB encryption to ensure data confidentiality and protection. While at the same time making it about 3–4 times less vulnerable to cyber threats from the inside and outside of the network, as well as retaining an easy and intuitive interface for accessing the information. These are codes known for fast read rates coupled with the ability to store large amounts of data. The data that is entering the QR code first goes through two layers of encryption before it is inserted into the code. The first layer employs the Rubik encryption method that mix the data making it take complexity that disguises the original data. After this, LSB steganography is employed in which the encrypted message is concealed in the Least Significant Bits of digital images such that the encryption is almost undetectable. As the results show, the integration of Rubik encryption and LSB steganography provably ensures information protection against most types of cryptographic attacks, as well as the integrity of the content during encoding and decoding. In addition QR codes facilitate encryption by allowing the data contained in it to be shared and made accessible via normal Smartphone QR scanners for usability in real life instances. Most suitable for organizations that require transmission and accessibility of sensitive records which include; health, economical and governmental organizations. This makes the approach strike a balance between data security and data usability.
