Still waiting on info on the vaccine passport app for Ontario, which is supposed to be rolled out on Oct 22. I'm hoping it'll be open source, but no one's mentioned it. Lot of potential for logging where everyone's going with an app like what is being proposed.
Edit:
Looks like the BC one is not open source, can't find it on GitHub: https://github.com/bcgov https://github.com/bcgov
I can't find the Quebec gov GitHub account, so no idea on that. Probably closed as well.
- lytfyre 5y agoThe BC covid passport verifier apps are open source - https://github.com/bcgov/BCVAX-Android https://github.com/bcgov/BCVAX-Android and https://github.com/bcgov/BCVAX-iOS https://github.com/bcgov/BCVAX-iOS respectively. There is no "user" passport app - the BC Health Gateway website generates a standard (https://smarthealth.cards/ https://smarthealth.cards/) QR code that you can save on phone, or print. The QR codes are signed, but not encrypted - you can dump the contents to verify the payload contains only what's described. Because it's just signature validation of the payload, they can be verified offline.
- makeworld 5y agoThanks, that's great to see.
- jszymborski 5y agoCan confirm the QC app is closed source.
