The first UK lockdown began on 16th March 2020.

3 days later this article appeared.

Bill Gates pointed to major changes for ordinary people that could have privacy and civil rights implications.

What did he say?

“Eventually we will have some 'Digital Certificates' to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine who has received it,” said Gates.

Gates also called for a “National Tracking System”.

This was the first official hint as to what was planned. Image

I understand that it is very much in vogue to decry "BUG BOUNTY PROGRAMS ARE NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A THOROUGH SDLC AND YOU NEED TRAINING TO RUN ONE!!!" - however this is very much to be welcomed:

The #NHSCOVID19app is part of an established bug bounty program at @Hacker0x01
tl;dr: *THIS* is a core example of what I have been wanting to see for a long time: UK Government backing the techniques which more UK Industry should be adopting - but historically have not, for fear of words like "hacker".

/cc @oracuk @bcs
ps: before anyone asks: I greatly welcome both the open source nature of @NHSX @NHSCOVID19app, and also that it's part of a bug bounty program, and also that it uses standard frameworks.

If it should eventually embrace build reproducibility, then I may go so far as to install it

Looks like the #NHS #TestAndTrace #contactTracing app is finally here. Why did it take them so long?

It's of less utility to me right now given my #longcovid has me effectively housebound due to symptoms, but interesting to see the process of setting it up 1/n Image
Now I realise why I saw QR codes displayed at entrances to cafes etc over the summer 2/n Image
"We use automated-decision making to help determine which other users need to be anonymously alerted" - I wonder how accurate these automated decisions will be? 3/n Image
