Re-implement core functionality using Decentralized Privacy-Preserving Proximity Tracing (DP-3T) #490

Hi,

Privacy on Aarogya Setu has been a big concern (the reason for open sourcing the code as well). Can we re-implement the core functionality using DP-3T (https://github.com/DP-3T, documentation: https://github.com/DP-3T/documents)? It is a privacy focussed contact tracing solution. Currently it is in use in Switzerland. This will help alleviate all privacy concerns and thus increase adoption manifold.

@niharika2810 @delhiamitk Just now I came across DP3T protocol via this and I think it will be the best solution for resolving the privacy concerns associated with the Aarogya Setu app. If feasible it should be implemented in the app ASAP to increase the app's usage.
