论文摘要
接触跟踪是公共卫生官员和当地社区与新型疾病传播（例如COVID-19大流行）打击的重要工具。新加坡政府刚刚发布了一个手机应用程序，即TraceTogether，该应用程序旨在帮助卫生官员在确定感染者后追踪暴露。但是，这种跟踪应用程序的存在存在重要的隐私影响。在这里，我们分析了其中的一些含义，并讨论了改善隐私问题而不减少对公共卫生有用性的方法。我们希望在撰写本文档时确保隐私是围绕移动联系人跟踪应用程序的对话的主要特征，并鼓励社区努力为用户提供更强的隐私保护，以开发替代有效解决方案。重要的是，尽管我们讨论了潜在的修改，但本文档并不意味着作为正式的研究论文，而是对直接联系跟踪应用程序（例如TraceTogether）的某些隐私特征的回应，以及向社区发表评论的早期请求。 书面日期：2020-03-24 次要校正：2020-03-30
Contact tracing is an essential tool for public health officials and local communities to fight the spread of novel diseases, such as for the COVID-19 pandemic. The Singaporean government just released a mobile phone app, TraceTogether, that is designed to assist health officials in tracking down exposures after an infected individual is identified. However, there are important privacy implications of the existence of such tracking apps. Here, we analyze some of those implications and discuss ways of ameliorating the privacy concerns without decreasing usefulness to public health. We hope in writing this document to ensure that privacy is a central feature of conversations surrounding mobile contact tracing apps and to encourage community efforts to develop alternative effective solutions with stronger privacy protection for the users. Importantly, though we discuss potential modifications, this document is not meant as a formal research paper, but instead is a response to some of the privacy characteristics of direct contact tracing apps like TraceTogether and an early-stage Request for Comments to the community.
