QR code

A QR code is a two-dimensional bar code. It is composed of black modules (square dots) arranged in a square grid on a white background. The QR code is defined as an ISO (ISO/IEC18004) standard.

Cronto image

A Cronto image is a specific visual cryptogram which is composed of four components:

  • An image that consists of several squares (e.g. 25 x 25 squares), and each square has a specific color. The colors used are white, red, green, or blue.

  • A black border with a width of two squares.

  • A quiet zone outside the black border with a width of at least two squares.

  • A quiet zone inside the black border with a width of one square.

The data starts from the top-left corner downwards and proceeds by columns; a Cyclic redundancy check checksum is added for error detection.
