Digital COVID Certificates: Business Rules

AboutAssumptionsOrganisationTesting & StatusLicensing

IMPORTANT NOTICE

As of July 1st 2023, the EU DCC project has been handed over to the WHO. The project has therefore been frozen. This repository will be placed into archival mode. It will remain available for the foreseeable future - however, it will no longer be actively maintained.

About

The Digital COVID Certificate (DCC) allows to determine whether a person is deemed fit-for-travel into a country-of-arrival (CoA) based on their vaccination, test, and recovery status. To make such determinations, business (or validation, or verification) rules have to be implemented in verifier apps.

This repository contains a framework to implement (sets of) rules in verifier apps (and backends) using a rules engine. It explains how to do that in a way that makes these rules interchangeable across implementors. The advantage of this approach is that it ultimately allows citizens to check their fit-for-travel status into an intended CoA ahead of travel, against the actual rules. This can be achieved by adhering to a common, and testable and verifiable way of defining, and executing rules. The interchangeable rules are uploaded to, and can be downloaded from the EU Digital COVID Certificate Gateway (DGCG) - more info can be found here.

An example of a rule can be found here.

This work is a result of work done by the EU Taskforce Business Rules, and described in this document. The (JSON Schema) technical specification for the EU DCC can be found here. More relevant documents and links can be found here.

Organisation

This repository contains the following:

  • CertLogic: a specification, reference implementations for various platforms (JavaScript, Kotlin, Dart), a test suite, a validation tool, and a HTML renderer. CertLogic is “mostly generic and independent of the DCC”, to make it easier to understand, test, expand, etc. independently. ”Mostly” means: only a small part of it is specific to the purpose of validating DCCs using business rules with logic expressed in CertLogic.
  • DCC Business Rules Utilities: a JavaScript library that contains useful “things” for working with EU DCC business rules.
  • Documentation.
  • JsonLogic: documentation and code relating to JsonLogic.
  • CertLogic editor: implemented with MPS.

Testing & Status

  • If you found any problems, please create an Issue.
  • Current status: Work-In-Progress.
