Based on Cardea code, Indicio collaborated with SITA and the Aruba Health Department to develop the Aruba Health App. This active pilot allows visitors to Aruba to privately and safely share a trusted-traveler credential based on their health status on their mobile device when they check-in at participating hospitality sites on the island during their journey.
FREMONT, CA: Cardea, an open-source ecosystem for exchanging privacy-preserving digital health certificates, has been approved as a Linux Foundation Public Health (LFPH) project.
Cardea, developed by Indicio.tech, a leading developer of privacy-first decentralized identity and verification technologies, will assist public health authorities (PHAs) worldwide in combating COVID-19 and potential epidemics by offering end-to-end resources that use interoperable standards for exchanging vital health data in a privacy-preserving manner.
For digital health certificates and travel passes, maintaining privacy is a vital challenge. According to a recent IATA poll, 78 percent of passengers who participated in the survey would only use a travel health credential app if they have complete control over their results. Solving this problem resulted in the creation of Cardea and its initial implementation on the island of Aruba.
Based on Cardea code, Indicio collaborated with SITA and the Aruba Health Department to develop the Aruba Health App. This active pilot allows visitors to Aruba to privately and safely share a trusted-traveler credential based on their health status on their mobile device when they check-in at participating hospitality sites on the island during their journey.
"With the contribution of Cardea to LFPH," stated Heather Dahl, CEO, "Indicio has taken the lead on privacy-first decentralized identity technology. And as a Public Benefit Corporation, we believe that open sourcing decentralized identity technology through LFPH will lay the foundation for a better, fairer world to come."
