TCN API Go Server

This is the Go implementation of the TCN API for Privacy-Preserving Distributed Contact Tracing, to be used in TCN Apps following TCN protocols.

This is the Go implementation of the TCN API for Privacy-Preserving Distributed Contact Tracing.

Our mission is to reduce transmission of disease, by developing applications and protocols that support contact tracing without loss of privacy (no identifiable information). The CEN Protocol achieves this goal by combining Bluetooth Low Energy with lightweight client and server technology.

(NB: CEN was renamed to TCN. The v1 API remains unchanged with "CEN" as part of the endpoints. The v0.4.0 API uses "TCN" as part of the endpoints. The documentation for the original endpoints below is unchanged, although the project is now generally refered to as TCN instead of CEN.)

Tech Lead: Sourabh Niyogi ([email protected])

The flow is as follows:

1. iOS/Android Apps use secret 128-bit AES keys (CENKeys) to broadcast CENs using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)

2. CEN Apps records neighbor CENs in close physical proximity to the user.

3. Users submit symptom / infection reports and reveal the secret CENKey in their application to a CEN API endpoint, resulting in a POST to /cenreport endpoint with Report

4. Apps poll every N mins to /cenkeys for CENKeys and matches them to CENs the user has observed.

5. Upon match, the application retrieves the report for user action that re

MySQL Setup

1. After setting up your Mysql instance and updating the Default Connection strings in server.go, create tables with cen.sql

2. Check that you can (a) POST a CEN Report; (b) GET CEN Keys; (c) GET CEN Reports with go test -run TestBackendSimple

How it works (at a glance)

Right now the schema is pretty simple.

1. CENKeys holds the mapping between revealed keys (cenKey) and reports (reportID), with reportID being the join key between the 2 tables.

Implementation:

• The /cenreport POST writes the raw CENReport to the cenkeys table (1-3 rows, with 1 row per week) and CENReport table (1 new row).
• The /cenkeys GET endpoint reads just the CENKeys table, requiring the index.
• The /cenreport GET endpoint reads the join between the 2 tables with the CENKey.

It is expected that CDNs can replace this, with mobile applications

Importantly, no PII data is held in any table.
