## A note on the relationship between PEPP-PT and DP-3T
## Apple and Google Proposal
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.
Apple and Google have released a [joint specification](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2020/04/apple-and-google-partner-on-covid-19-contact-tracing-technology/) describing their system support for privacy-preserving proximity tracing on iOS and Android . Their proposal is very similar to our early proposal named ["Low-cost decentralized proximity tracing"](https://github.com/DP-3T/documents/blob/master/DP3T%20White%20Paper.pdf).
D3PT appreciates the endorsement of these two companies for our solution and is happy to work with both of them to implement our app on both platforms.
But, we also strongly believe that Apple and Google should adopt our subsequent enhancements, detailed in later versions of our [white paper](https://github.com/DP-3T/documents/blob/master/DP3T%20White%20Paper.pdf), which increase user privacy. We also strongly encourage both companies to allow an external audit of their code to ensure its functionality corresponds to its specification.
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.
## The relationship between DP-3T and PEPP-PT
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.
