Version 3.0: Increase time until a SRS warning can be issued after the app installation #872

Closed Ein-Tim closed 1 year ago

Ein-Tim commented 1 year ago

Upcoming Implementation

With version 3.0, it will be possible to warn other users without having to scan a QR code or call the hotline to get a TAN to warn others, but a warning can be issued simply by clicking some buttons in the CWA. There is a period of time implemented in the mobile apps which hinders users from issuing such a SRS warning if the app hasn't been installed for a given amount of time (Please note that I think this amount of time is security relevant, and I'm thus not exposing the value).

Suggested change to the upcoming implementation

I think the value which has been chosen for the upcoming implementation is too short, the amount of time should be increased by at least two days.

Expected Benefits

In my opinion, this change could drastically reduce the number of times when trolls are able to issue a SRS warning, although they are not tested positive. Especially in combination with https://github.com/corona-warn-app/cwa-wishlist/issues/871 this would be a good change and would make the implementation even more bullet-proof against trolls.

Good Morning @Ein-Tim,

Thanks for the suggestion, Internal Tracking ID: EXPOSUREAPP-14520.

As the CWA project went into ramp-down mode, I don't expect this feature to be implemented. I'm therefore closing this issue.
