According to current knowledge, the German government’s new Corona warning app is intended to mid-June in the App Store. A first concept including documentation has now been published on GitHub. 

The topic of the Corona warning app is constantly sparking new discussions. The decision to pursue a decentralized approach (storing the data on the devices) has already been received positively. But many citizens still have concerns. That is why the developers of the new application - SAP and Deutsche Telekom - have decided to make the app an open source project. The motto is: maximum transparency should lead to greater acceptance - whether the plan will work remains to be seen. A first concept has now been presented on GitHub published – a documentation is also included with the project. It states:

Does the open source approach lead to more trust?

Wir entwickeln die offizielle COVID-19-App zur Kontaktfallbenachrichtigung für Deutschland, die sogenannte “Corona-Warn-App”. Dieses Projekt hat zum Ziel, eine Anwendung auf der Grundlage einer Technologie mit einem dezentralisierten Ansatz zu entwickeln. Als Grundlage dienen die Protokolle DP-3T (Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing) und TCN und die Spezifikationen für Privacy-Preserving Contact Tracing von Apple und Google. Wie DP-3T und TCN folgen auch die Apps und die Backend-Infrastruktur dem Open-Source-Prinzip – lizenziert unter Apache 2.0 ! Die Apps (für iOS und Android) werden pseudonymisierte Daten von Mobiltelefonen in der Umgebung mit Hilfe von Bluetooth-Technologie sammeln. Die Daten werden lokal auf den einzelnen Geräten gespeichert, um so den Zugriff auf die Daten und die Kontrolle über die Daten durch Behörden oder andere Instanzen zu verhindern. Wir erfüllen die geltenden Datenschutzvorgaben und garantieren höchste IT-Sicherheitsstandards. Auf diese Weise stellen wir uns den Datenschutzbedenken der Bevölkerung und hoffen dadurch, die Nutzung der Anwendung zu steigern.

The bottom line is that the app should only be able to process the most relevant data and comply with both German and European data protection guidelines. The aim is to contain the spread of COVID-19 with the help of modern technologies. The data protection declaration will also be as transparent as possible and understandable for every user. As already mentioned above, the federal government plans to release the Corona warning app for iOS and Android in mid-June. The app will require iOS 13.5 or newer, as it requires Apple's new "COVID-19 Exposure Notifications" interface. The corresponding iOS update should therefore follow very soon.
