People who want to enter a business or attend an event in New York in the near future may need to have an application called the “Excelsior Pass” installed on their smartphones, the New York Post reports.
The soon-to-be deployed software application was designed to allow citizens to prove their vaccination status, or recent history of a negative COVID-19 test.
Those already familiar with Apple’s “Wallet” feature, which already contains tickets as well as insurance and bank cards, will have little difficulty with this concept. The Excelsior Pass is like a mobile airline boarding pass; individuals will be able to either print out their pass or store it on their smartphones.
The Pass uses secure QR “Quick Response” code technology which is said to always keep an individual’s personal data secure and confidential. The Pass also utilizes block chain technology and encryption to ensure personal health information is stored securely.-- excerpt, rest at link above --
