Caurus

Example

Caurus is an open implementation of a verification scheme based on 2D barcodes.

Getting Started

Install and setup Caurus:

$ pip install caurus
$ caurus server init

Each device needs to be activated first. In our case, we assign the (arbitrary) ID 1 and set a SVG viewer (e.g. a browser) to automatically display the barcodes:

$ caurus server activate --viewer firefox 1

To complete the activation, add the displayed keys to caurus.cfg.

Afterwards, your are ready to verify arbitrary messages. There is support for lines, key-value pairs and some basic styling:

$ caurus server transaction 1 "Hello World!" "so:red:R" "many:blue:B" "colors:green:G"
Barcode: ...
Code: 231185
