Applications
Zilp-Zalp provides various applications for users, operators of
localities and health authorities, which are described here.
User application
Users only need to generate initial QR codes, for this they can
use a web application. This application creates the key material
for users and provides them with their secret data. The application
does not store any long-lived data and is only used for
initialization and possibly for one-time transmission of data to a
health department, accordingly it can be implemented as a web
application.
Operator application
Operators must collect data about their locality(ies), scan QR
codes from users, and add metadata if necessary. The application
encrypts visit data using the mechanism described in the protocol
and stores the encrypted data on one or more operator servers.
Health Department Application
Health departments process highly sensitive data with Zilp-Zalp
and must also manage security-critical key pairs. Accordingly, the
use of a pure web application is not recommended here, since data
and keys would have to be stored there in the browser. Therefore, a
locally deployable server can optionally be used for this purpose,
which stores private keys and handles the data processing.
Alternatively, Zilp-Zalp can be connected to health authorities
via a provider-independent gateway.
