The best solution is to not mandate them IMO. If you create strong incentives for fraud with something that’s difficult to authenticate then you shouldn’t be surprised when it happens a lot.
- mytailorisrich 5y agoIt could have been done more securely, even on paper. The standard EU Covid passport is a QR code that contains all the data cryptographically signed, which is much more difficult to fake that a card filled by hand...
- johnnyApplePRNG 5y agoSo do you have to provide a second piece of ID with it then? (What's preventing one person from copying their cryptographically signed card?)
- mytailorisrich 5y agoYes, obviously the person needs to show some sort of ID as well. Quite a few EU countries have ID cards, but I suppose a driving licence would do as well. The card includes the holder's name and DOB, I believe, so along with showing ID this makes copying a card useless. The only alternative I can think of (assuming we do want secure Covid 'passport') is to have a picture taken when you get your jab and include that picture in a secure card... That's probably more difficult to implement when the vast majority of people have a photographic ID (ID card or driving licence, or even passport which is a very common document to have in Europe).
