## Overview
77
Quick Trusted Response (QTR) codes aim to enhance the security and trustworthiness of QR codes by introducing a standardised verification mechanism. By leveraging existing technologies like BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) and public key cryptography, QTR codes provide a method for users and applications to verify the authenticity of QR code content before any action is taken.

## Why QTR Codes?
1012
- Mitigate QR Code Phishing Attacks: QTR codes help prevent malicious redirection and data theft by verifying the source and integrity of the QR code content.
1113
- Enhance User Trust: By displaying verified brand logos and validation statuses, users can confidently interact with QR codes.
1214
- Backward Compatibility: QTR codes are designed to be compatible with existing QR code readers, ensuring a seamless transition.
