Review and Critical Analysis of Privacy-preserving Infection Tracking and Contact Tracing (2020)
Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., Imran, M. A., Ur-Rehman, M., Zhang, L., Abbasi, Q. H., Chrysoulas, C., Haynes, D., Pitropakis, N., & Papadopoulos, P. (2020). Review and Critical Analysis of Privacy-preserving Infection Tracking and Contact Tracing. Frontiers in Communications and Networks, https://doi.org/10.3389/frcmn.2020.583376

The outbreak of viruses have necessitated contact tracing and infection tracking methods. Despite various efforts, there is currently no standard scheme for the tracing and tracking. Many nations of the world have therefore, developed their own ways... Read More about Review and Critical Analysis of Privacy-preserving Infection Tracking and Contact Tracing.
