• Abstract: The pharmaceutical manufacturing faces critical challenges due to the global threat of counterfeit drugs. This paper proposes a new approach of protected QR codes to secure unique product information for safeguarding the pharmaceutical supply chain. The proposed solution integrates secure QR code generation and encrypted data transmission to establish a comprehensive anti-counterfeit ecosystem. The protected QR codes encapsulate product information that cannot be identified using traditional QR code scanners which protect the information against replication and tampering. The system is developed with scalability in mind, which can be easily implemented without introducing any additional modification in the traditional supply chain.
