Cybersecurity, Lightweight deep learning model, QR code, Generalization.

In today’s world information technologies are rapidly evolving because of that servers are attacked by cyber attacks. This cyber attack causes a big data loss to the organization and it becomes a big concern in such an organization. In the existing system, it only detects attacks when that attack happens once because of that it fails to detect the new attack that is going to happen. But our detection with QR code images using a lightweight deep learning model is able to detect the cyber attacks that have been identified. We have collected and curated a large dataset of QR code images, encompassing a wide range of use cases and variations. This dataset serves as the foundation for training and evaluating our lightweight deep-learning model. We propose a specially designed deep learning model optimized for QR code image analysis. This model is computationally efficient and effective at detecting anomalies and potential cyberattacks within QR codes. Our model differentiates between legitimate QR codes and potentially malicious ones. It identifies various forms of tampering, such as data manipulation, structural alterations, and hidden malware payloads. We evaluate the model’s robustness against adversarial attacks and its ability to generalize to unseen QR code variations, ensuring its effectiveness in the ever-evolving threat landscape. Our experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our lightweight deep model in detecting cyber attack threats within QR code images with high accuracy and low False-Positive rates. The model's efficiency and real-time capabilities make it a promising tool for enhancing cybersecurity in various domains where QR codes are utilized. In conclusion, this research paper approach to cyber attack detection through QR code image analysis leverages the power of deep learning to enhance security in digital applications.
