Service: Verification of COVID-19 testing

Responsible organisation: Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs (Central-Government)

The project is ccalled QualiSig and uses elements of Austria’s digital identity system to create three COVID-related prototypes around fraud prevention, fake news and health data. The project uses transparent, encrypted communications and secure and decentralized data storage. Citizens will have sole responsibility for control over their data, using qualified digital signatures through mobile devices. The QualiSig prototypes use the Ardor blockchain built by Swiss firm Jelurida and its Ignis tokenizing system.
