System and Method for Dynamic Multi-Level Security in High-Capacity Optical Codes

A system and method for encoding and decoding optical codes with context-aware, multi-level security. Input data is classified into security levels with associated context sensitivity requirements. The system compresses data using public and private codebooks based on security classifications, then generates optical codes incorporating both compressed data and context requirements. When scanned, the system collects environmental contextual data (location, network environment, device security, user behavior), analyzes it against embedded context requirements, and dynamically determines which security levels are accessible in the current environment. Only authorized security levels are decoded using appropriate codebooks based on both user credentials and current contextual factors. This approach enables fine-grained, context-sensitive access control that adapts to changing environments while maintaining the compression benefits and capacity advantages of the multi-level security framework.
