This information can be shared with airlines and border control authorities who can have the assurance that the certificate presented to them is genuine and belongs to the person presenting it, IATA said.

IATA said it welcomes the work done by the EU Commission in developing the EU DCC system and thereby standardising digital vaccine certificates across Europe.
