  In the current pandemic, testing continues to be the most important tool for
monitoring and curbing the disease spread and early identification of the
disease to perform health-related interventions like quarantine, contact
tracing and etc. Therefore, the ability to verify the testing status is
pertinent as public places prepare to safely open. Recent advances in
cryptographic tools have made it possible to build a secure and resilient
digital-id system. In this work, we propose to build an end to end COVID-19
results verification protocol that takes privacy, computation, and other
practical concerns into account for designing an inter-operable layer of
testing results verification system that could potentially enable less
stringent and more selective lockdowns. We also discuss various concerns
encompassing the security, privacy, ethics and equity aspect of the proposed
system.
