iTRACE Technologies Feature: Why Secure Codes Must Go Beyond the Standard QR Code
|
|
|
|
Automatic identification technologies are widely used across supply chains and public programs, but standard QR codes alone offer limited protection against fraud, duplication, and misuse. True secure coding requires a combination of authentication and traceability to ensure product integrity and visibility, especially as cybersecurity threats and global QR adoption continue to rise. With its patented 2DMI technology, iTRACE delivers a scalable solution that enhances security, supports compliance, and enables trusted tracking across commercial and government applications.
