Developed by the International Chamber of Commerce and supported by International SOS and SGS Group, ICC
AOKpass is a digital solution that allows users to present digitally authenticated and secure medical records to QR Code
border authorities and government administrations. Users have exclusive control over their personal health data,
which are stored only on the user's mobile device and never on any external database or centralized system.

AOKpass uses distributed ledger technology based on the Ethereum permissionless blockchain. The AOKpass
Stakeholder / Ownership platform also employs hashing and encryption algorithms to protect user data and maintain system security.

ICC is developing standards for the AOKpass app so that it can be used globally.
