VerificaC19 - COVID-19 check-in"&" info

VerificaC19 is the official app of the government of Italy, created by the Ministry of Health in partnership with the Ministry for Technological Innovation and Digitization, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, and the Extraordinary Commissioner for the COVID-19 Emergency. Its purpose is to assist operators in confirming the validity and authenticity of COVID-19 Green Certificates issued by Italy's National DGC Platform of the Ministry of Health and other European Union member states.

This app has been developed and launched while strictly adhering to the protection of user data and existing laws, particularly decree-law of April 22, 2021, no. 52, and the approved European technical specifications for the EU Digital COVID Certificate by the eHealth Network.

The VerificaC19 app allows designated operators to confirm the authenticity of COVID-19 green certifications and "EU Digital COVID Certificates" through scanning the certificate's QR code. Unlike communicating scanned information to external parties, the app ensures that all verifications are performed offline without requiring a remote system service during usage. To validate certificate authenticity, the app needs to access the backend of the DGC national platform at least once daily, connected to the European gateway (DGCG) containing all public keys for signing the "EU Digital COVID Certificate."

Verify the identifying data of the person and the outcome of the verification:

green the certification is valid;

red the certification is invalid or expired.

To make scanning a large number of green passes easier and faster, you can use the "automatic mode". The verifier, by selecting it on his mobile device with which he manually checks the Certifications, will be able to carry out the scans continuously without restarting the application.

The workflow of the VerificaC19 app involves several phases:

- The person conducting the verification requests the user to display their certificate's QR code.

- The app reads the QR code, verifies its authenticity using the public key that signed the certificate.

- After decoding the information from the COVID-19 Green Certification or the "EU Digital COVID Certificate," the app presents essential details such as:

Name, surname, and date of birth of the certificate holder

Unique identifier of the certificate

Certificate validity

The app cross-checks the decoded information with Italian regulations for COVID-19 green certifications.

The operator visually confirms that the personal data displayed by the VerificaC19 app aligns with the certificate holder's ID card.
