Covid-19 Contact Tracing Discussion #2
Covid-19 Contact Tracing Discussion #2: app dissection and and safety of user data
In this “Secure in Mind” podcast episode, Professor Katina Michael joins us again for a conversation about the contact-tracing app creating such a kafuffle the world over. Also in the virtual room was friend and security expert Edward Farrell, who has been neck deep in packets and LTE as he has hung drawn and quartered COVIDSafe to truly test the limits of half of its namesake – safety (at least from a technological standpoint concerning the safety of user data)

Round 2!
So we recorded this last week which, given the distortion of time in the present moment, is an era ago. As it stands, I am bound by the publishing cycle of the platform, but there are reworkings at play in the background as I adapt to the situation we are all facing in my own way. Stay tuned for them.
Professor Katina Michael joined us in the last iteration along with Dr Roba Abbas for a broad discussion on the efficacy of the app and the socio-ethical implications of its deployment. This time we are joined by Edward Farrell, friend and friendly hacker who has been spending his spare time deconstructing the app that the Australia Government has built to assist in the efforts to quash Covid-19 spread.
Short and sweet intro this time as time is against me – do yourself a favour and augment your listening experience by checking out both Ed’s and Katina’s work in the links below to educate yourself.

The Secure in Mind project
Our mission is to greatly increase and encourage community discussion about technological and ethical issues that have done, are and will impact society on a global scale.
There is a longstanding and distinct disconnect between the way information is packaged and presented to the public and the effectiveness of this presentation in terms of generating informed, considered debate.
