The way this would work is by generating a Single Travel Token containing all of their travel documentation. Scanned documents and sealed with a public and private key, similar to how Bitcoin addresses are protected. All of the documents are encrypted and hashed, and the service allows anyone to verify their authenticity by using the public key. Sharing that token can be done through QR codes, a technology which is often used in the world of Bitcoin payments.
