Green Pass on IO and Immuni: this is how it will work, even for minors

by admin

It will be enough to have the IO app or Immuni and our Green Pass, the one that will allow us to move more freely between Covid restrictions, we will already have it in our pocket.

This certificate will also be available in digital form integrated into those apps, as we anticipated based on the information given by the government to the Regions e then confirmed to Italian Tech by the Minister of Innovation, Vittorio Colao, according to which (barring possible delays), the debut could be on June 1st.

But how will this work in practice? First of all, it must be clarified that apps will always be only alternatives to other ways to get the Green Pass: the paper option, with a certificate with QR Code, it will always be available, especially for those who have little command of digital tools or even do not have one.

The goal is to allow people to do almost nothing after downloading IO or Immuni, which they may have already installed on their smartphone for other reasons (for example, to get cashback or the Holiday Bonus or for contact tracing), but which have had a rather limited penetration. After all, Colao had already said this in the first hearing in Parliament: with the Green Pass the intention is also to give a second life to Immuni.

The technology behind the Green Pass

by Alessandro Longo


How it will work on IO, even for minors
As for IO, according to Italian Tech, it will work like this: those who are entitled to the Green Pass will receive a notification on their smartphone (similar to those that IO sends to notify the Public Administration of deadlines). To receive it, you just need to be entitled to it and you won’t need to apply, which is already a great revolution for the Italian public administration. At the moment, to be eligible for the Green Pass they must pass 15 days from the first vaccine dose, or you need to be cured of the coronavirus or have had a swab with negative results for no more than 48 hours.

We will then open the app, we will enter with the Spid or with the Cie (the electronic identity card) and we will find the pass, certified with a QR Code, which we can also save for direct access, even without an Internet connection, so that we can show it to the police.

The company even children can have it (unlike the Spid), so they too can have the Green Pass on IO: just enter the app with the data of your electronic identity card, exactly as an adult would do, even using the parents’ smartphone, to find the just pass.

How it will work on Immuni
On Immuni there will be an extra step because this app, as reiterated several times by the developers, guarantees the anonymity of those who use it: one hypothesis is that the person will have to voluntarily be recognized, for example by entering the tax code. Once this is done, you will have access to your Green Pass.

An alternative is to download it, using a tax code or health card, from a site still under construction by Sogei or from your electronic health record. Parents should be able to do this also for children who have been subjected to a swab with a negative result or have recovered from Covid-19 (the vaccination hypothesis is currently not contemplated for minors), obviously using their respective tax codes.

All this will be possible thanks to a new infrastructure always managed by Sogei, which will collect all the information relating to the Pass (vaccination certificates, tampons, healing certificates) and therefore will allow access to the IO and Immuni apps. Technically it means that Sogei is creating the Api (the acronym stands for Application program interface), the “windows” for accessing these data and will provide them to those who develop Immuni and IO to be integrated within them.

Pass vaccination, the guarantor for privacy: “Personal data at risk, that’s not right. The government changes it”

Safety guaranteed by Sogei
Sogei will digitally sign this data to avoid counterfeiting: when someone shows up with a certificate (of test, cure or vaccination), the verifier will be able to “read” it through the QR Code using an app, also being developed by Sogei, which will verify if that information on the certificate is true, comparing it with the corresponding data on the Sogei platform.

Since July, thanks to the upcoming regulation, there will be dialogue with the European infrastructure and therefore the Pass will be valid throughout the EU: the data will remain in the country of origin of the controlled person and not in that of the country visited.

At this point, the critical factor is the timing, also for the Italian news, because a heated dialogue with the Privacy Guarantor to find the balance between versatility of use of the Pass and protection of fundamental rights: the good news is that integrating everything into Immuni and IO would be quite easy. And that once the Italian Green Pass arrives we will also have it immediately on our smartphone, always at hand.
