Objectives
- Define a complete ecosystem governance framework to be shared with, and integrated into, the Good Health Pass Collaborative.
Background/Context
Internationally, there are many initiatives committing expertise and resources to problems associated with digital health certification for COVID-19 test results and vaccination records.
Launched on Feb 09 '21, the Good Health Pass Collaborative brings organizations from the travel, health and technology sectors together to define what "good looks like" so that the international travel industry can begin operating with secure, reliable digital credentials for test and vaccination records.
The Collaborative intends to produce 1) a blueprint for successful use of verifiable credentials in this use case, 2) a solution to the challenge of binding identity to these credentials and 3) a trust framework for the ecosystem-of-ecosystems.
This will be achieved by solving seven key interoperability challenges:
- Consistent User Experience
- Data Models and Elements
- Credential Formats, Signatures, and Exchange Protocols
- Security and Privacy Architecture
- Trust Registries
- Rules Engines
- Identity Binding
Chairs
- Drummond Reed
