Chiarimento sui rapporti tra DP-3T e PEPP-PT

DP-3T is a free-standing effort, originally started at EPFL and ETHZ, that has now broadened out to include stakeholders from across Europe and beyond. We develop the protocol and implement it in an open-sourced app and server on this repository.

DP-3T members have been participating in the loose umbrella of the 'Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing' (PEPP-PT) project. DP-3T is not the only protocol under this umbrella. PEPP-PT also endorses centralized approaches with very different privacy properties. Pandemics do not respect borders, so there is substantial value in PEPP-PT's role of encouraging dialogue, knowledge-sharing, and interoperability.

Nevertheless, as the systems endorsed by PEPP-PT have technical differences that yield very different privacy properties, it is a mistake to use the term 'PEPP-PT' to describe a specific solution or to refer to PEPP-PT as if it embodies a single approach rather than several very different ones.

Buongiorno,

AFAIU ROBERT è l'alternativa a DP-3T dopo che gli ultimi sono stati
buttati fuori da PEPP-PT, e questo dice tutto su ROBERT.

Con tutto il rispetto per le persone coinvolte, mi pare che anche
l'accademia non stia proprio dando il meglio di sè.

“All systems in the works include a common component (a server) and a
decentralized component (a group of smartphones that can communicate
between them using Bluetooth): all systems currently in the works are
therefore both centralized […] and decentralized,” he continued.

«centralized-decentralized contact-tracing protocol.», è scritto nero su
bianco :-O

Faccio fatica a credere che queste parole siano uscite dal CEO di Inria.

Saluti. Giovanni
