Secuso QR Code Reader

Secuso (SEcurity-CUstomer-SOciety) is an academic project and brand originating from the research group led by Prof. Dr. Melanie Volkamer. The product is a privacy-friendly QR code scanner developed as part of a series of applications designed to protect users from intrusive data collection and security vulnerabilities common in standard mobile utilities.

The development and maintenance of the software take place primarily in Germany, within the academic framework of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Unlike commercial applications, this brand is rooted in security research and open-source principles, ensuring that the software remains free of trackers and unnecessary permissions while providing high-utility tools for global users.
