Learn how the Cardea Project at Linux Foundation Public Health came to be a complete, decentralized, off-the-shelf, open source codebase for sharing health data in our recent article by Indicio VP of Governance Trevor Butterworth. He introduces the Cardea white paper, which provides a detailed account of the  history of Cardea,  a highly accessible explanation of how verifiable credential technology works, and the future direction of the project as the codebase is adapted to other health sharing needs.

In this video, originally recorded for Open Source Summit, we take a look at why Aruba has chosen to use verifiable digital credentials to manage entry requirements and health testing for travel to the island, how it created a Trusted Digital Ecosystem, and why the ability to verify personal data without having to check in with the source of that data will transform air travel, healthcare, and tourism.
