Covid Cryptography Bonus: Apple/Google Tracing App!
Channel: MathMesh
Date: 18/04/2020

An in-depth examination of the Apple/Google Covid tracing application showing what it does, how it works and the implications for both privacy and slowing the spread of the disease.

The application certainly meets its privacy goals when used in isolation. There may be issues caused by the interaction of this app with other apps on the same device. What is less clear is just how useful this app is going to be in enabling the lockdown to be ended. Not supporting targeted quarantine certainly protects privacy but is that the only thing we should be considering?
