TrustGrid announced a new use case for its platform to provide citizens with a secure digital vaccine passport that can be stored on their smartphone.

Designed using distributed ledger technology, TrustGrid is an opt-in system where citizens can authenticate their identity and vaccination status and receive a QR code to show as proof of vaccination.

How the TrustGrid vaccine passport works Users opt-in using TrustGrid's platform.

For vaccination passports, citizens who receive the vaccine would opt into the TrustGrid ecosystem after the vaccine is administered, receiving a QR code that is stored on their smartphone.

"TrustGrid allows those who get a COVID vaccine to opt-in and accept proof of vaccination with a guarantee of total confidentiality," said Santosh Devaraj, CEO, and founder of TrustGrid Pty Ltd. "There has been a lot of concern about instituting vaccine passports, largely because of concerns over citizen privacy."

The TrustGrid secure digital ecosystem also can be extended to any group, organization, or agency that joins the consortium to verify identity and credentials for other services with sovereign control of data and maximized citizen privacy.
