Interesting. Do you have any pointer on the current German approach? I've been looking at the Robert protocol from Inria+Fraunhofer, and I'm not sure I like the central secret DB it requires.
- def_true_false 6y agoI guess they meant the DP-3T. See https://github.com/DP-3T/documents https://github.com/DP-3T/documents
- temac 6y agoI think so, and it seems this is very recent; I found that: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-europe-tech/germany-flips-on-smartphone-contact-tracing-backs-apple-and-google-idUSKCN22807J https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-europe... I hope France will follow.
- tastroder 6y agoThis happened over the weekend so details are pretty vague and mostly available in German. I'd expect more to follow in the next few days, official statements didn't yet talk about who will take over implementation I believe. But w.r.t. the Robert protocol, that's the PEPP-PT one that was pushed against. Differences between Robert and the proposal for Germany were minimal. While there are a few at the moment I expect the solution to work with DP3T / integration of the Gapple APIs. Future travel in mind it wouldn't make much sense to develop something else at this point imho.
