README
This is a PHP library that generates a BärCODE as specified by PoNCI-Berlin.
Install
Via Composer
NOTE: This package has not been published yet, so it has to be manually installed instead.
$ composer require ponci_berlin/phpbaercode
Usage
use ponci_berlin\phpbaercode\BaerCode;
$procedure = new Procedure(
    1,
    DateTime::createFromFormat(DateTimeInterface::RFC3339, "2021-05-01T08:00:00Z"),
);
$procedures = array($procedure);
$fist_name = "Max";
$last_name = "Mustermann";
$date_of_birth = DateTime::createFromFormat(DateTimeInterface::RFC3339, "1990-04-01T00:00:00Z");
$operator = "PoNC GmbH";
$kid = "<id_of_key_goes_here";
// $result is false for a negative test, and true for a positive vaccination.
$result = false
// privateKey is an instance of php3seclib\Crypt\EC\PrivateKey.
$baercode = new BaerCode(
    $first_name,
    $last_name,
    $date_of_birth,
    $procedures,
    $operator,
    $result,
    $kid,
    $privateKey,
    $aesKey
);
// Get the raw base64 BärCODE.
$baercode_b64 = $baercode->generate();
// Get the code encoded into a QR code. (This will return a binary string of the image)
$baercode_qr = $baercode->generate_qr();
Testing
Right now there are only integration tests that run against our Go reference implementation, so
running tests won't do much. The SCRATCH_DIR environment variable must be set:
$ SCRATCH_DIR=/tmp ./vendor/bin/phpunit
The files generated by the integration tests will be created in SCRATCH_DIR.
Requirements for integrators
There is a set of requirements for integrators that need to be in place to ensure there will be no problems for the people receiving BärCODEs:
- A new key is submitted every 24 hours
 - Keys must be stored securely
 - Keys submitted must be stored for seven days and then be deleted
 - Errors during key rotation is logged
 - Monitoring of key rotation is in place
 - BärCODE presentation to the end user includes text saying "scan me here" (or similar in local language) and a link to https://scan.baercode.de
 - Integrator has separated development and production environments
