Platform Security & Fraud Prevention

UniTix is engineered to provide complete protection for campus event organizers and attendees. The platform prevents ticket scalping, duplicate entries, and screenshot fraud without requiring complicated hardware.

​
1. Dynamic Rotating QR Codes

Traditional static barcodes and screenshots can easily be forwarded or printed multiple times. UniTix prevents this with dynamic rotating passes:
  • Time-Based Refresh: The QR code displayed on the student’s phone automatically updates every few seconds.
  • Anti-Screenshot Defense: If an attendee takes a screenshot and shares it, that image expires shortly afterward and will be rejected at the entrance gate.
  • Safe Display: The pass only displays a secure verification token that can only be validated by official UniTix scanner apps, keeping user accounts and credentials safe.

​
2. Secure Offline Gate Operations

For venues with limited or no mobile internet connectivity:
  • Pre-Event Local Sync: Gate staff can download the verified event attendee list before entering the venue.
  • On-Device Verification: The scanner app authenticates tickets on-site without needing an active internet connection.
  • Automatic Cloud Reconciliation: As soon as the scanner connects to Wi-Fi or mobile data, all entrance logs are automatically uploaded to the live cloud dashboard.

​
3. Multi-Gate Coordination

When an event has multiple entrance doors operating offline:
  • Gate-to-Gate Communication: Scanners communicate directly with one another over local wireless connections.
  • Instant Double-Entry Prevention: When an attendee is admitted through Gate 1, all other gate scanners are immediately notified on-site, preventing someone else from entering through Gate 2 with the same ticket.
  • Accurate Entry Sequence: Every check-in is logged with an exact timestamp and gate location.

​
4. Multi-Society Scope Isolation

To protect privacy and ensure clean event management across universities:
  • Society Boundary Protection: Authorized organizers and gate staff can only scan and manage events belonging to their assigned society.
  • Cross-Society Guard: A staff member from Society A cannot scan or alter tickets for an event hosted by Society B.
