All of the information is stored in the QR code and then signed by elliptic curve keys using the P-256 curve. So if any of the information was modified the digital signature would no longer be valid. All of the technical details can be found here: https://spec.smarthealth.cards This of course assumes the establishment chooses to scan your QR code, I've only had two places so far do so, every other place has just looked at the piece of paper and verified it against my ID. I suppose you could try and share someone's credentials or forge your own, but it doesn't seem like something I would want to do: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/sudbury/forged-vaccination-passports-sudbury-1.6 203784 Jay ...
