This course aims to educate participants on designing verifiable health solutions for a global pandemic. The learning outcomes include understanding the project goals and objectives, exploring different architecture options for sharing health information, and learning about key properties and features of the protocol used for communications. The course teaches skills such as identity verification, health verification, creating ephemeral pass credentials, and handling abuse when using ephemeral passes. The teaching method involves discussing the project timeline, user experience, architecture options, and protocol features. This course is intended for individuals interested in security, privacy, product development, and systems engineering in the context of public health crises.
