The development of internet and new technology has been growing continuously, smartphone is now a necessary device that has great impact on users in various ways. Internet and smart devices have gained their success in various fields and have provided conveniences to all types of users. The flow of data is seen as a part of the internet and smart devices. Since a large amount of users rely on the internet for their own purposes, it then has become a big vulnerable target for attackers. In this paper, a design of elliptic curve cryptography-based authentication using QR Code is proposed. It mainly focuses on QR Code, as it is now widely used all over the world. However, the enhancement of the existing approaches is encouraged by the fast development of threats, which are presently encountered. The encryption process is included, and the proposed authentication protocol applies the concepts "Something you know" and "Something you have". Normally, people are not concerned about the threats behind the process of transmitting information over the internet, especially through QR Code. With this authentication process, users can ensure that they and their information are safe from online threats.
