ABSTRACT = { QR codes are applied widely on the Internet and mobile devices in 
recent years. Its open standards and the characteristics of easy to generate lead to 
anyone can generate their QR code easily. Also, the QR code does not have the 
ability of hiding information, which leads to everyone can get access to read the 
content in any QR code, including those hiding some secret content in the bytes 
of QR code. Therefore, in recent years, information tampering and information 
leakage cases caused by poor security of two-dimensional code occur frequently, 
especially in the financial field and multi-party verification scenarios. QR codes 
are almost impossible to use in these scenarios. Therefore, this paper proposes a 
distributed information sharing method based on information hiding QR code.
This method can make secret code in QR code safer and robust, and the secret 
shared between receivers can be used for decryption and attacking detection.
Therefore, on the one hand, the information hiding method can maximize the 
capacity of embedded secret information, on the other hand, it can prevent 
attacks by disguised attackers and recover hidden secret information through 
reconstruction. This paper illustrates the feasibility of this scheme through the 
form of theoretical proof.},
