Verizon Business helps secure Australia ’ s International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate
As Australians gear up for the further reopening of international travel lanes in 2022 , proof of COVID-19 vaccination is a necessity . To provide this proof , Verizon Business Australia worked with the Australian Passport Office in the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to develop the country ’ s International COVID-19 Vaccination Certificate .
The international certificate features a Quick Response ( QR ) code , which is generated using the COVID-19 vaccination information in the Australian Immunisation Register and the traveler ’ s passport details .
Also known as a Visible Digital Seal , each individual QR code is digitally signed to help protect against tampering and can be validated by most immigration authorities as well as at airline check-ins .
The digital signing process uses private digital keys that are stored on Hardware Security Modules ( HSMs ) to help prevent unauthorized access . The keys are certified using the Australian Country Signing Certification Authority ( CSCA ), managed by Verizon and accredited under the Australian Gatekeeper framework .
Verizon Business Group ’ s Regional Vice President for the Asia-Pacific region , Robert Le Busque , said : “ Speed and accuracy were critical for this important national initiative to get established and operational , we are extremely proud to work with the Australian Passport Office to deliver a service that is instrumental in opening up Australia to the world once again .”
