Decode information from European covid19 travel certificates
#######
#
# REQUIRES: pip install cose #!!!!
#
# HOW TO USE:
# 1. Use your favourite QR scanner to scan the code from a certificate,
# you'll get a string that starts with "HC1:"
# 2. Run the script: python3 covid-qr-certificate-decoder.py
# 3. Paste the string when prompted
#
#
# READING (how to interpret the output and test data):
