Rosenzweig: Fun and Games with Exposure Notifications

([Development] Sep 8, 2020 17:31 UTC (Tue) (ris))


Alyssa Rosenzweig [1]looks at getting the [2]Exposure Notifications System protocol, developed by Apple and Google for facilitating COVID-19 contact tracing on Android and iOS phones, running on GNU/Linux. " All in all, we end up with a Linux implementation of Exposure Notifications functional in Ontario, Canada. What’s next? Perhaps supporting contact tracing systems elsewhere in the world – patches welcome. " The source code for [3]liben is available " for any one who dares go near ".

They told me you had proven it When they discovered our results
About a month before. Their hair began to curl
The proof was valid, more or less Instead of understanding it
But rather less than more. We'd run the thing through PRL.

He sent them word that we would try Don't tell a soul about all this
To pass where they had failed For it must ever be
And after we were done, to them A secret, kept from all the rest
The new proof would be mailed. Between yourself and me.

My notion was to start again
Ignoring all they'd done
We quickly turned it into code
To see if it would run.
