(a) Under ideal assumptions, explain why this scheme could satisfy -Kerckhoffs’libzbar0 principle. +Kerckhoffs' principle. (b) Now assume an attacker can test permutations against the QR format (find patterns, error correction, alignment markers). Why does this reduce the effective security of the scheme?
