## A note on the relationship between PEPP-PT and DP-3T
The Decentralised Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (DP-3T) project is an open protocol for COVID-19 proximity tracing using Bluetooth Low Energy functionality on mobile devices that ensures personal data and computation stays entirely on an individual’s phone. It has been produced by a core team of over 25 scientists and academic researchers from across Europe. It has also been scrutinized and improved by the wider community.
DP-3T is a free-standing effort started at EPFL and ETHZ that produced this protocol and that is implementing it in a soon-to-be-released, open-sourced app and server. DP-3T sits under the loose umbrella of the ‘Pan-European Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing’ (PEPP-PT) project. DP-3T is not the only protocol under this umbrella, which also endorses centralized approaches with very different privacy properties. Pandemics do not respect borders, so there is substantial value in PEPP-PT’s role of encouraging dialogue, knowledge-sharing and facilitating interoperability to enable trans-national roaming.
As the systems endorsed by PEPP-PT have technical differences that yield very different policy-relevant properties, it is a mistake to use the term ‘PEPP-PT’ to describe a specific solution or to refer PEPP-PT as if it embodies a single approach rather than several very different ones.
