At the World Economic Forum Meeting in Davos on 21–24 January, the feeling was overwhelmingly positive among leaders and commentators, and the outlook for the global economy in 2020 bright. This feeling and any belief that the spread of COVID-19 would be limited was shattered in Feb- ruary, as the virus started to appear worldwide and hot spots like IR Iran and Italy came into focus.

  • Applicability of Mobile Contact Tracing in Fighting Pandemic (COVID-19): Issues, Challenges and Solutions
    Applicability of Mobile Contact Tracing in Fighting Pandemic (COVID-19): Issues, Challenges and Solutions Aaqib Bashir Dara, Auqib Hamid Loneb,∗, Saniya Zahoorb, Afshan Amin Khanb, Roohie Naazb aIndependent Researcher, Jammu and Kashmir,India,190015 bDepartment of Computer Science and Engineering, NIT Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India,190006 Abstract Contact Tracing is considered as the first and the most effective step towards containing an outbreak, as resources for mass testing and large quantity of vaccines are highly un- likely available for immediate utilization. Effective contact tracing can allow societies to reopen from lock-down even before availability of vaccines. The objective of mobile contact tracing is to speed up the manual interview based contact tracing process for containing an outbreak efficiently and quickly. In this article, we throw light on some of the issues and challenges pertaining to the adoption of mobile contact tracing solu- tions for fighting COVID-19. In essence, we proposed an Evaluation framework for mobile contact tracing solutions to determine their usability, feasibility, scalability and effectiveness. We evaluate some of the already proposed contact tracing solutions in light of our proposed framework. Furthermore, we present possible attacks that can be launched against contact tracing solutions along with their necessary countermeasures to thwart any possibility of such attacks. Keywords: COVID-19, Contact Tracing, Security, Privacy, Scalability. 1. Introduction Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is an atypical pneumonia that is char- acterized by a high rate of transmission, which began in Guangdong Province, China, in November 2002 [1]. One of the largest SARS outbreaks to date began in Singapore in mid-March 2003 [1] and was traced to a traveler returning from Hong Kong.

Abstract In this thesis centralized, decentralized, Bluetooth, and GPS based applications of digital contact tracing were reviewed and assessed. Using privacy principles created by a contingent of security and privacy experts from across Canada, a metric of assessing an application’s privacy was created. An attack tree was built to assess the security of the contact tracing applications. Eighteen attacks were theorized against contact tracing applications currently in use. An application’s vulnerability to the attacks was measured using a scoring system developed for this purpose. The results of the security scores were used to create a metric for assessing the security of contact tracing systems.
