Locking down NZ COVID Tracer

By now most people will know NZ COVID Tracer, the app designed by the Ministry of Health to support contact tracing for COVID-19.

This is the story of how we built the app, with particular focus on designing a security and privacy model, during the early days of the pandemic response and Alert Level 4.
