الوصف: This study addresses the use of Reed-Solomon error correction codes in QR codes to enhance resilience against failures. To fully grasp this approach, a basic cryptographic context is provided, necessary for understanding Reed-Solomon codes. The study begins by defining a code and explores key outcomes for codes with additional properties, such as linearity. The theoretical framework is further developed with specific definitions and examples of Reed-Solomon codes, presented as a particular variant of BCH codes. Additionally, the structure of QR codes is analyzed, encompassing different versions and how data is represented in the form of black and white pixels within an image. Finally, an inherent vulnerability of Reed-Solomon Codes, and particularly of QR codes, related to selective manipulation of modules is examined. This vulnerability leverages the error correction mechanisms present in Reed-Solomon codes.
