• Abstract: With the COVID-19 pandemic entering a second phase and vaccination strategies being applied by countries and governments worldwide, there is an increasing expectation by people to return to normal life. There is currently a debate about immunity passports, privacy, and the enablement of individuals to safely enter everyday social life, workplace, and travel. Such digital immunity passports and vaccination certificates should meet people's expectations for privacy while enabling them to present to 3rd party verifiers tamper-evident credentials. This paper provides a comprehensive answer to the technological, ethical and security challenges, by proposing an architecture that provides to individuals, employers, and government agencies, a digital, decentralized, portable, immutable, and non-refutable health status cryptographic proof. It can be used to evaluate the risk of allowing individuals to return to work, travel, and public life activities.

  A vaccine passport serves as documentary proof, providing passport holders with greater freedom while roaming around during pandemics. Key challenges faced by the digital vaccine passport system include passport forgery, unauthorized data access, and inaccurate information input by vaccination centers. Our solution integrates off-chain and on-chain cryptographic computations, facilitating secure communication among various entities.

  Digital vaccine certificates could potentially be part of a safe return to work, travel, and daily life. We outline potential implementation and ethical concerns that may arise from tech-enabled vaccine credentialing programs. We suggest a set of principles that, if adopted, may implicated these concerns, forestall preventable harms, and point the way forward.

Our analysis shows that this group of technical identity standards are based on under-specified and often non-standardized documents.
