Safely Handle QR code #2

Closed harshkhandeparkar closed 5 years ago

harshkhandeparkar commented 5 years ago

Qr codes are directly saved to the pc, no encryption, and they exist forever. Probably:

  1. They should be deleted once used.
  2. They store the full passkey, maybe they can be encrypted.
  3. Maybe only authorised users should be allowed to download the QR codes.

if you want to make it to authorised users only then we have to make a login system

harshkhandeparkar commented 5 years ago

I want the qr code to be sent to the mobile app, encrypted and once sent, deleted from the server. The user can then scan the code at the kiosk or whatever from the app itself. Let's try to do something similar.

sahil-patel6 commented 5 years ago

Should I save the QR code in the phone then??

Yes but make sure that only the app can access it directly. The user should not beable to access it directly or share it or anything.

Juet like some apps cache music. The user cannot access the songs directly. Only theapp can. Is that possible?

sahil-patel6 commented 5 years ago

I will have to encrypt then, I have to find a way to do so. Don't worry I will find it

That is not a problem. They are one time use qr codes. Also users are provided passwords as well. In the future we can store the imgs on the server as well, encrypted.

harshkhandeparkar commented 5 years ago

Btw, can the imgs be cached using react native? Or java?

sahil-patel6 commented 5 years ago

As far as I know I am familiar with Java and not much with react native. As we want only Android app, image caching can be achieved in native development that is with Java
