Comment on First look at Apple/Google contact tracing frameworkparentComments−femto1136yI see lots of ways to mitigate requesting the keys from disclosing much information:- could set the false positive rate higher than the chance of encountering a case in the wild (which makes it smaller)- phone could be programmed to sometimes randomly request keys even when the filter doesn't match- keys could be distributed across many static mirrors and your phone could pick one at random if the filter matched

I see lots of ways to mitigate requesting the keys from disclosing much information:
- could set the false positive rate higher than the chance of encountering a case in the wild (which makes it smaller)
- phone could be programmed to sometimes randomly request keys even when the filter doesn't match
- keys could be distributed across many static mirrors and your phone could pick one at random if the filter matched
