The global spread of Covid-19 brought trade and businesses to a halt as countries worldwide shut down borders at the costly expense of an unprecedented economic downturn, causing the revival of economies to become an international priority.
A key obstacle faced by immigration authorities and airline organizations due to stricter travel regulations lies in identifying the authenticity of health documents presented by travelers for cross-border travel.
The need to verify health credentials led to the emergence of various solutions for travel recovery. Presenting various standalone options for airline and border authorities that only authenticates a select few QR formats and standards.
The development of an interoperable travel verification solution enables various travel technology partners to work with each other, reducing the cost for multiple solutions - presenting one global solution.
Anchored by verifiable health credentials, verifiers, issuers, and travelers are members of the Safe Travel Ecosystem.
These verifiers are responsible for authenticating health credentials that are valid and compliant with destination-specific travel entry requirements for safe cross border travels that safeguard public health and safety.

Much like a physical credential (e.g., the cards in one's wallet), a Verifiable Credential (VC) is an issued assertion containing a set of claims about an individual or organization. However, the unique value of VCs is that they are digitally native and cryptographically secure, making them an excellent privacy-preserving alternative to other types of credentials if used responsibly.
Verifiable credentials are tamper-evident, meaning a verifier can identify any changes to the information stored in the verifiable credential. In existing decentralized technology, tamper-evident data is one of the latest advancements where data security is concerned.
Apart from being a part of the Common Trust Network within the travel sector, comprising airlines, governments, issuance technology partners, and healthcare institutions, we are also proudly associated with Linux Foundation Public Health (LFPH), Good Health Pass (GHP), COVID-19 Credentials Initiatives (CCI), and The Asia Travel and Technology Industry Association (ATTIA).

The current authentication of health reports without verifiable health credentials is inefficient. In addition, non-verifiable health reports can be easily doctored or falsified, with no means of accurately verifying it if done optically. On the other hand, health data stored as a verifiable health credential can be authenticated by technological solutions, and attempts to tamper with it can be easily identified.
