So it also automatically resigns the forged certs, or how does it tell the difference?

It tells the difference by looking up the test results in a database. At least that's how it works in Portugal. You can also use the app to look up other health related information.

As far as I understand, it connect to some NHS server and after authentication it fetches a certificate that has been signed by the server.
