Query: A Critique of the Google Apple Exposure Notification (GAEN) Framework   As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic digital contact tracing has been
proposed as a tool to support the health authorities in their quest to
determine who has been in close and sustained contact with a person infected by
the coronavirus. In April 2020 Google and Apple released the Google Apple
Exposure Notification (GAEN) framework, as a decentralised and more privacy
friendly platform for contact tracing. The GAEN framework implements exposure
notification mostly at the operating system layer, instead of fully at the
app(lication) layer. In this paper we study the consequences of this approach.
We argue that this creates a dormant functionality for mass surveillance at the
operating system layer. We show how it does not technically prevent the health
authorities from implementing a purely centralised form of contact tracing
(even though that is the stated aim). We highlight that GAEN allows Google and
Apple to dictate how contact tracing is (or rather isn't) implemented in
practice by health authorities, and how it introduces the risk of function
creep.
