PEPP-PT Documentation

What is PEPP-PT?

The purpose of the Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (PEPP-PT) approach is to provide a common basis for management systems that can be integrated into national public health responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. The PEPP-PT approach is being created by a multi-national European team. It is a privacy-preserving digital proximity-tracing approach, which is in full compliance with GDPR and can also be used when traveling between countries.

Documentation

Main documents:

• PEPP-PT High-Level Overview
• PEPP-PT Building Blocks for Pandemic Management Systems using Proximity Tracing
• PEPP-PT Data Protection and Information Security Architecture: Illustrated on German Implementation

The building blocks will be published as separate documents step by step as we complete the editing process.

Open source strategy

PEPP-PT is preparing a number of source code repositories to be open sourced.

These repositories include:

• Backend services
• Android application core library
• Android application reference implementation
• iOS application core libraries
• iOS application reference implementation

Our goal when open sourcing the code is to be transparent and establish a dialog with the community. Through this transparency and ongoing discussion, our hope is to build trust and ensure any concerns raised are resolved before solutions based on PEPP-PT are released to the general public.
