Abstract: QR codes are developed by a Japanese company has been around for over fifteen years. With the advent of smart and Web capable mobile devices, we witness a steady growth of interesting commercial applications using QR codes. It cannot be denied that documents in the form of hardcopy are still being used, especially important documents such as land titles, application forms, contracts and tickets. However there are reports of forgery cases over the years and as such, it is imperative to have a mechanism for integrity verification of hardcopy document. The research proposed the usage of two-dimensional (2D) barcodes, which has the capability of storing data, to assist in reducing the action of hardcopy forgeries. We introduce an application for the automated examination using the QR code. In this, we make use of QR code to generate an question paper, the snap of the QR code is taken by every student and the required data is decoded and question paper is generated on the mobile phone. Students can give the answers by using their mobile phone itself.
