If all the data is encrypted, then you would need the public key to reverse engineer.

So if you were collecting unencrypted data, it would be interesting to see how complicated the governments algorithm was for generating the private key.
But the signature is generated based on the information in the records, and modifying the records in any way (e.g. putting your own info into someone else's record) invalidates the signature.

With respect to patient privacy, note that when a SMART Health Card is issued, it is cryptographically signed by the Issuer. This means that the contents, including the FHIR Bundle, cannot be changed without invalidating the signature.
