My impression is that TIGRESS aims to include QRcode as a way to initiate the
credential transfer. Other transports would be various kinds of (instant) messaging.

TIGRESS does not really allow the receiver to be *offline*, but not connected
directly to the sender. If your content is small enough, I imagine one could
use data:// URL within the QR code itself.

All over QRcode?
And is if offline that you really want, or just assurance of physical proximity?
