COVerifica19.SM

COVerifica19.SM is the official app of the government of San Marino, developed by the Ministry of Health for the COVID-19 Emergency.
It enables operators to verify the validity and authenticity of COVID-19 Green Certificates issued by the Member States of the European Union and the ones which have adhered to the European DGC Platform (https://github.com/eu-digital-green-certificates)

The app is developed and released in full compliance with the protection of the user's personal data and current legislation of the decree-law of 16 June April 2021, n. 109, as well as the European technical specifications approved by the eHealth Network for the EU Digital COVID Certificate (formerly Digital Green Certificate).

The COVerifica19.SM allows the operators in charge to verify the validity of the COVID-19 green certifications and the "EU Digital COVID Certificates" by reading the certificate QR code. The app does not store or communicate the scanned information to third parties. The app performs the verification in offline mode, i.e. without invoking a remote system service when it is used. In order to verify the certificate authenticity the app must access the backend of the DGC national platform at least once a day, connected to the European gateway (DGCG), where all the public keys used to sign the "EU Digital COVID Certificate” are collected.

The workflow of the COVerifica19.SM app is divided into the following phases:
- The operator in charge to verify the certification asks the citizen to show the QR code of his certificate
- Using the app, the QR code is read and its authenticity is verified using the public key signing the certificate
- Once the information contained in the COVID-19 Green Certification or the "EU Digital COVID Certificate" has been decoded, the app shows the main information:
- Name, surname and date of birth of the certificate holder
- Unique identifier of the certificate
- Validity of the certificate
- The certificate is verified against the decoded date information and the rules of San Marino for COVID-19 green certifications.
- The person in charge proceeds to visually check the correspondence of the personal data of the holder shown by the COVerifica19.SM app and certificate holder ID card.
