Scanner for CoronaCheck: Fails to display name of Swiss certificate

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Hi!

When I scan my Swiss covid certificate with your app (Scanner voor CoronaCheck v2.4.1), the app recognizes that the certificate is valid, but it displays the wrong name.

It only displays the first letter of the last and the first name. In my case:

  • Last name: R
  • First name: T

This is my QR code for your convenience:

[QR removed]

Hope this is a good place to post this... :S

Please fix this issue.

Thanks!

Hi! I've removed the QR-code and requested Github to delete the image, as it's personal and medical data that shouldn't be published for everyone to see.

To actually answer your issue: the CoronaCheck scanner only shows the first letter of the first name, the first letter of the last name, the day of birth and the month of birth. For Dutch QR-code, these are the only pieces of personal data that are actually in the QR-code. International QR-codes (DCCs) have more information in them; the entire name and birth date. For equality between Dutch and foreign citizens, we show the same amount of information on the scanner screen.
