The Digital COVID Certificate (DCC) allows to determine whether a person is deemed fit-for-travel into a country-of-arrival (CoA) based on their vaccination, test, and recovery status. To make such determinations, business (or validation, or verification) rules have to be implemented in verifier apps.
This repository contains a framework to implement (sets of) rules in verifier apps (and backends) using a rules engine. It explains how to do that in a way that makes these rules interchangeable across implementors. The advantage of this approach is that it ultimately allows citizens to check their fit-for-travel status into an intended CoA ahead of travel, aganst the actual rules. This can be achieved by adhering to a common, and testable and verifiable way of defining, and executing rules.
This work is a result of work done by the EU Taskforce Business Rules.
The (JSON Schema) technical specification for the EU DCC can be found here.

Various code in this repo assumes that the following two repos are cloned right next to where this repo's cloned:
This repository contains the following:
- Documentation: currently a How-To, design choices, and documents/links.
- CertLogic: a specification, reference implementations for various platforms, a test suite, and a validation tool. CertLogic is generic, and not tied to the DCC, to make it easier to understand, test, expand, etc. independently.
- RulesRunner: implementations of components for running rule(set)s against a DCC payload, for various platforms, including testing.
- Rule sets: implementations of rule sets with unit tests - for now that of the EU-template, but later of possibly various member states as well.
TODO The contents of the javascript directory still have to be moved to their proper places, and are currently provided as-is only, without guarantee of them being useful.
- If you found any problems, please create an Issue.
- Current status: Work-In-Progress.
