Juneidi Computer Engineering Department, Palestine Technical University Khadoorei1, Hebron, West Bank Palestine. e-mail: [email protected] Received 20 July 2020; Accepted 5 October 2020 Abstract Since the start of the year 2020 the world is facing an outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, technical specialists all over the universe have been scrambling to develop services, apps, and system’s protocols for contactors tracing, with the objective to identify and to notify everyone that gets close with an individual carrier. Some of these apps are lightweight and temporary, while others are diffuse and aggressive. Some of tracing services are developed locally by small interested programmers, while others are large-scale international operations. To date, we have recognized more than 25 large automated contact tracing efforts around the globe, included with details about what they were, how they worked, and the procedures and conditions that were put in place around them. This paper will deal with general data of the most prominent applications in terms of technical approaches used in the world and compare them with regard to the efficiency of tracking covid-19 and compare them with concerning of the people’s privacy who use these apps. Keywords: Covid-19, GPS location, Blue trace, Google/Apple, DP-3T, Apps, Privacy. 1. Introduction Many applications, services and systems have been proposed and launched [1] with an aim to track and identify infected people with objective to reduce or even to prevent physical contact with other people, some of these tracking 1 Special thanks to Palestine Technical University -Khadoorei for continuous support of research efforts Salaheddin J.

  • Glossary of Terms, Acronyms, Phrases & Initialisms Used in Disaster
    Glossary of Terms, Acronyms, Phrases & Initialisms used in Disaster Survival Preparedness and Relief If you’re new to the prepping world, you’re going to come across a lot of lingo — especially on forums — that you might not understand right away. Here is a quick glossary we have put together of some of the terms you’ll run into. Survivalists, Preppers, CERT Members, and Government Personnel involved in Disaster Relief have a Lexicon all their own, so we’ve provided a bit of reference to help you get a grip on what they’re saying. You can bookmark this page and come back to it if you need to look a certain phrase up while reading survival preparedness articles and materials. NOTE: In case you wondered what the difference is between an acronym and and initialism: acronym - (a type of abbreviation) A word formed from the initial parts (letters OR syllables OR arbitrary parts) of a name. Examples: NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) initialism - (a type of abbreviation) A group of initial letters used as an abbreviation for a name or expression, each letter being pronounced separately. For example, “BBC” (British Broadcasting Corporation), or “PBS” (Public Broadcasting System). As Safety Professionals and Ocean Nuts – we like to use this example: SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus) is an Initialism, whereas SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus) is an Acronym. So all those people out there referring to “TLA’s” (Three Letter Acronyms) like “BFF” are mistaken, and one of our favorite phrases “TLA is a TLA for TLA” is just plain wrong.

At times, it feels as though the world is being pulled in two directions. On the one hand, availability of vaccinations has increased in many countries, borders have begun a hesitant reopening, and corporate travel and immigration is on the rise; however, on the other hand, new outbreaks are reported daily, the vaccination effort varies drastically by region, and virus variants worry the general public and governments alike. All of these factors contribute to an ever-changing global immigration landscape that provides the industry with new challenges daily. Newland Chase and CIBTvisas are here to help you navigate every twist and turn of these regulation changes. This comprehensive guide will keep you up-to-date on any immigration-related change in connection with the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
