Method, device and system for verifying two-dimensional barcode

Abstract

This application provides a method, apparatus, and system for verifying two-dimensional barcodes. The method includes the following steps: reading a two-dimensional barcode pattern displayed on a mobile device, wherein the two-dimensional barcode pattern corresponds to a two-dimensional barcode, the two-dimensional barcode includes encrypted time information, and the two-dimensional barcode and the two-dimensional barcode pattern are dynamically updated over time; decrypting the encrypted time information to obtain decrypted time information; obtaining time information to be compared; comparing the decrypted time information with the time information to be compared to generate a time difference; and confirming that the time difference is within a tolerance range.
