Re: Vaccination Certificate Test Suite

Hi Orie,

Any docs on exactly how that QR is encoded?

VC -> some representation (JSON/CBOR?) -> some encoding (base64?) -> some
QR encoding ?

I can see the whole thing works nicely with transmute tooling but I
cant make much sense of the QR (attached here) outside of transmute tooling.
