QR codes and public passport pages
From the approved record to a page that anyone can open by scanning the product.
A passport reaches its reader through a data carrier on the product, the label or the packaging. In practice this is usually a QR code that opens a web page. Both parts have to be dependable: the code must keep working after printing, and the page must show exactly what has been released.
On the platform every product has a fixed passport address and a QR code that points to it. The page behind the address appears when the passport is published and shows the current published version.
Functions
