How to track identifying information by using QR code

I'm using QR code to collect student attendance data. Is there any way that I can track student's identification? We want to make sure those who have filled out the attendance form are physically attending the session.

A QR code can't have identifying information in it BUT you could use authentication to accomplish this after the student scans the code.

But what if student A asks student B who is not attending the session what his/her email is and fill out the form for him/her? > @JenCX said: > A QR code can't have identifying information in it BUT you could use authentication to accomplish this after the student scans the code.
