Safepaths: Vaccine Diary Protocol and Decentralized Vaccine Coordination System using a Privacy Preserving User Centric Experience (Preprint)

Abstract

In this work, we present an end to end decentralized protocol for the secure and privacy preserving workflow of vaccination, vaccination status verification, and adverse reactions or symptoms reporting. The proposed system improves the efficiency, privacy, equity and effectiveness of the existing manual system while remaining inter-operable with its capabilities. We also discuss various security concerns and alternate methodologies based on the proposed protocols.
