Brits are to participate in a pilot of digital COVID-19 immunity and vaccination passports developed by Mvine and iProov, the biometric and identity technology providers.
The Mvine-iProov passport allows users to register and confirm a test result or vaccination status of a person without revealing their identity.
According to the report, the Mvine-iProov passport can be connected to existing NHS infrastructure to meet the special needs of local Public Health Directors and any general national requirements.
