dgc

A parser and validator for the EU Digital Green Certificate (dgc) a.k.a. greenpass 📲✅

• Parses the text content of a European Digital Green Certificate (dgc or greenpass) and extract the embedded data

• Uses a Trustlist of public keys and Elliptic Curve cryptography to be able to validate the signature of a given certificate

• It's tested against 500+ certificates from the official testing dataset

• It offers a minimal and easy to use API

• The certificate data can be easily serialized/deserialized for ease of testing and reporting

• It embeds the official valueset so that internal IDs (diseases, result types, countries, testing authorities, etc.) can be easily expanded to their descriptive equivalents

• It reports errors for all fallible operations minimising the opportunity for panicking

• Offers utilities for easily populate a Trustlist from various types of keys and apis

Current limitations:

• It only supports EC signatures (see #2)

Usage

Dgc in action

This library tries to address 2 main use cases:

1. Decode a certificate without validating its signature

let raw_certificate_data = "HC1:NCF:603A0T9WTWGSLKC 4K694WJN.0J$6C-7WAB0XK3JCSGA2F3R8PP4V2F35VPP.EY50.FK8ZKO/EZKEZ96LF6/A6..DV%DZJC0/D5UA QELPCG/DYUCHY83UAGVC*JCNF6F463W5KF6VF6IECSHG4KCD3DX47B46IL6646H*6MWEWJDA6A:961A6Q47EM6B$DFOC0R63KCZPCNF6OF63W5$Q6+96/SA5R6NF61G73564KC*KETF6A46.96646B565WEC.D1$CKWEDZC6VCS446$C4WEUPC3JCUIA+ED$.EF$DMWE8$CBJEMVCB445$CBWER.CGPC4WEOPCE8FHZA1+9LZAZM81G72A62+8OG7J09U47AB8V59T%6ZHBO57X48RUIY03XQOK*FZUNM UFY4D5C S3R9UW-2R*4KZJT5M MIM:03RMZNA LKTO34PA.H51966PS0KAP-KLPH.Q6$KSTJ0-G658RL5HR1";
let certificate_container = dgc::decode(raw_certificate_data).expect("Cannot parse certificate data");
println!("{:#?}", certificate_container);

2. Decode a certificate and validate the signature against a trustlist

let raw_certificate_data = "HC1:NCF:603A0T9WTWGSLKC 4K694WJN.0J$6C-7WAB0XK3JCSGA2F3R8PP4V2F35VPP.EY50.FK8ZKO/EZKEZ96LF6/A6..DV%DZJC0/D5UA QELPCG/DYUCHY83UAGVC*JCNF6F463W5KF6VF6IECSHG4KCD3DX47B46IL6646H*6MWEWJDA6A:961A6Q47EM6B$DFOC0R63KCZPCNF6OF63W5$Q6+96/SA5R6NF61G73564KC*KETF6A46.96646B565WEC.D1$CKWEDZC6VCS446$C4WEUPC3JCUIA+ED$.EF$DMWE8$CBJEMVCB445$CBWER.CGPC4WEOPCE8FHZA1+9LZAZM81G72A62+8OG7J09U47AB8V59T%6ZHBO57X48RUIY03XQOK*FZUNM UFY4D5C S3R9UW-2R*4KZJT5M MIM:03RMZNA LKTO34PA.H51966PS0KAP-KLPH.Q6$KSTJ0-G658RL5HR1";

Data structure

The information is stored inside a certification in a multi-layered format.

This library tries to find a compromise between making the information as accessible as possible and respecting the original structure of the raw data.

The following diagram represents how the information is organised once a certificate has been decoded:

FAQ

Is it legal to use this library?

You can certainly use this library to look into your own personal DGC (or the ones provided in the official test dataset).

If you are trying to use this library to look into certificates of arbitrarty individuals, you need to be aware that you will have access to privacy-sensitive personal information. Privacy-related regulation might limit you or prevent you from using this library (or the data acquired through this library). It is recommended to consult the relevant legal sources and authorities for any significant production use case.

Note that this software is licensed under MIT license and it is provided "as is". The authors of this library take no responsibility on any issue (especially legal ones) that might arise from using this library or the data acquired through it.
