This repository contains documentation about certification endpoints and related flows for authentication and authorization to be integrated with information systems of physicians, pharmacies and vaccination centers.
The interface specifications are aligned with the DGC schema specification published in version 1.3.2.
-
Issuer API (OpenAPI Specification)
Provides endpoints for the web frontend, vaccination center software, patient management software to issue DGC compliant certificates.
-
Re-Issuing API (OpenAPI Specification)
Endpoint for re-issuing to automate extension or re-coding of certificates.
-
DSC TrustList Update API (OpenAPI Specification)
Provides an endpoint for verifiers to get the latest list of trusted Document Signing Certificates (DSC).
The following table illustrates how the solution can be integrated into existing solutions:
| Scenario | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Medical Practitioner office | Solution is integrated in the primary IT solution of the doctor. Solution is connected to the Telematik Infrastructure and leverages the SMC-B as primary authentication solution. |
| 2. Vaccination Center | Solution is integrated in the primary IT solution of the vaccination center. Solution is connected to the internet and leverages client-certificate authentication. Software solution is required to have a strong user authentication based on BSI req. like hardware-tokens and user credentials |
In order to use the mentioned APIs different authentication options exist.
- Authentication with TI SMCB
- Authentication with client-certificate (mTLS)
Please refer to Implementation for an extensive certificate schema description.
For implementors the official documentation of the Digital Green Certificate can be found on the EU eHealth Network page.
