Are Vaccine Passports a Threat on Data Privacy?

The whole issue should have been worked through properly with public health officials, rather than having private companies present to different governments and different airlines that they have the silver bullet. If you are going to build a system like this, you have to start with transparency, you have to start with privacy in mind.

Alexis Hancock, Director of Engineering at Electronic Frontier Foundation

When we think about digitizing that health certificate, a few issues arise. The good thing is that there is now a way to ensure a higher level of fraud resistance. There's also a lot of complexity in how you design these systems. If they are not designed very carefully and intentionally, they could create significant privacy concerns.
