How it is built
  • The visitor's photo goes to the face service, which returns 512 values describing the face. The photo is discarded.
  • Those values are quantised to one byte each, packed with the text fields, gzipped, encrypted, and signed.
  • The result is written as a single decimal number, which is the densest thing a QR code can carry.
  • At the gate the signature is checked first, so a forged pass is refused before anything is decrypted.
