Abstract
The aim of this publication is to provide an overview of the prototype digital calibration certificate. The role of calibration certificates is explained and the differences between paper-based and digital calibration certificates are described in Section 1. All specifications of the digital calibration certificate are given in Section 2; security aspects are discussed in Section 3; and finally, conclusions are drawn in Section 4. The prototype of the digital calibration certificate (DCC) was first described in the PTB-Mitteilungen [1] in 2017.
