The counterfeiting of official documents and banknotes represents a critical threat to global security and requires robust and low-cost protection techniques. This work presents an innovative information security system that uses photoluminescent inks for chromatic multiplexing of QR codes. Unlike conventional cryptographic methods, the proposed approach employs physical-layer information hiding through the superposition of two QR codes encoded in magenta and cyan colors on a white background. The controlled interaction between these codes generates an additional logical state that enables a third representation of information through pixel-level operations. The resulting chromatic QR code remains visually imperceptible under ambient illumination and can be reliably recovered through chromatic demultiplexing and thresholding process. Additionally, its visibility can be enhanced under ultraviolet (UV) excitation due to photoluminescent behavior and spectral response variations. The experimental results demonstrate that both encoded data layers can be extracted independently with high fidelity using standard CMOS sensors, while preserving structural integrity and decodability. The proposed scheme increases information density within a single optical tag while improving resistance against unauthorized replication and visual forgery.
