Privacy-Preserving and Sustainable Contact Tracing Using Batteryless Bluetooth Low-Energy Beacons

Contact tracing is the techno-choice of reference to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of the current approaches have severe privacy and security issues and fail to offer a sustainable contact tracing infrastructure. We address these issues introducing an innovative, privacy-preserving, sustainable, and experimentally tested architecture that leverages batteryless BLE beacons.
