esp-ena

Implementation of contact tracing with the Covid-19 Exposure Notification API by Apple and Google on an ESP32 (with ESP-IDF). More information about the Covid-19 Exposure Notification at Apple and Google. This is fully compatible with the official API and is meant for people without smartphone or without access to Apple/Google's implementation.

The main source (the Exposure Notification API) is also available in a separate branch in component.

This implementation fully covers the BLE part including the cryptography specifications needed and the exposure check.

The following acronyms will be used in code and comments:

  • ENA Exposure Notification API
  • ENIN ENIntervalNumber - timestamp 10 minutes resolution
  • TEK Temporary Exposure Key - personal secret key changed every 24h, published when infected
  • RPI Rolling Proximity Identifier - send and received identifier changed every 10 minutes
  • AEM Associated Encrypted Metadata - send and received metadata

Features implemented

Additional features for full ENA device

Interface with display and input to

  • show exposure status
  • connect to WiFi
  • delete data
  • set language (currently supported: English and German)
  • set timezone
  • enter tan and uploading own exposure keys
  • set time and date (if no RTC/NTP available)

supported devices

M5StickC and M5StickC PLUS
  • RTC support
  • display support
  • PMU support
  • input with 2 buttons and accelerometer control
    • ok/cancel with button 1 and button 2 (depending on screen orientation)
    • up, down, left, right by tilting device
    • long press button 1 for changing character set on input
Custom device
  • RTC support with DS3231 (for correct system time)
  • display support with SSD1306
  • input with a 7 button control (joystick up,down,left,right,enter,cancel,ok)
  • battery support with ESP32 development boards with integrated LiPo support
LILYGO TTGO T-Wristband [in development]
  • display support
  • RTC and input in development

Limitations/Problems/Questions

  • WiFi or other external connection needed for infections status (auto-connect to open WiFis?)
  • obtaining accessibility
  • all parameters (scanning time, thresholds etc.)
  • service UUID is send reversed, RPI and AEM also send in reverse? Don't know BLE specification enough

some storage math

Due to limited storage, I made some calculations. I have fixed counting of TEKs (14 for two weeks), temporary beacons (1000, longest period for temp. storage is 20 minutes, so recognizing about 1000 different beacons in 20 minutes is possible) and exposure information (choose 500, this is like a limit of infected keys to be met). So the biggest limitation is to store beacons permanently after threshold of 5 minutes. That's what those calculations are for to check, if storage is enough for practical use.

overview of storage in bytes without permanent beacons:

size (B) num overall (B)
TEK 21 14 294
Exposure Info 20 500 10000
temp. Beacon 32 1000 32000

Additional 4 bytes counting for every type gives overall 42310B used without perm. beacons.

For now, a partition size of 2494464B will leave 2452154B free for met beacons which leads to a total storage of 76629 beacons. This gives the following table, where I added some lower boundaries to calculate with.

total beacons aver. per day aver. for 10 minute window
50000 3571 24
70000 5000 34
76629 5473 38

So on average it is possible to meet 38 (24 on a lower boundary) different devices inside of 10 minutes. I have no practical experience/numbers how many beacons are stored on average for a 14-days period in currently running ENA-Apps. But I think regarding the average is calculated for 24h (which is quite unpractical because of sleep and hours without meeting many people), the storage should be enough for the purpose of contact tracing.

How to use

Hardware Required

For base functionality just an ESP32 is required, for full device M5StickC (PLUS) or for a custom device DS3231 RTC, SSD1306 Display and 7 buttons are required.

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig

required

  • enable Bluetooth (BLE)

Component config -> Bluetooth -> [*] Bluetooth

  • add partition-table for storage (currently hardcoded name "ena")

Partition Table -> Partition table -> (x) Custom partition table CSV

  • mbedTLS enable HKDF

Component config -> mbedTLS -> [*] HKDF algorithm (RFC 5869)

  • flash size > 3.9GB

Serial flasher config -> Flash size -> (x) 4MB

  • choose interface device (custom, M5StickC, M5StickC PLUS, TTGO T-Wristband [in development])

ENA Interface -> ENA Interface device

important

If you ran into error region 'iram0_0_seg' overflowed by xxx bytes you can try disabling WiFi IRAM optimization

Component config -> Wi-Fi -> WiFi IRAM speed optimization -> ( )

Component config -> Wi-Fi -> WiFi RX IRAM speed optimization -> ( )

recommended

  • BLE Scan Duplicate (By Device Address and Advertising Data)

Component config -> Bluetooth -> Bluetooth controller -> Scan Duplicate Type -> (X) Scan Duplicate By Device Address And Advertising Data

debug options

  • Log output set to Debug

Component config -> Log output -> Default log verbosity -> (X) Debug

  • Exposure Notification API / Storage enable Dump storage

Exposure Notification API -> Storage -> [X] Dump storage

Configure SSL cert manually!

For ena-eke-proxy connection over SSL a valid certificate for used server under components/ena-eke-proxy/certs/cert.pem is required.

For my own proxy server, I have added a self signed cert for cwa-proxy.champonthis.de. For using, copy or rename components/ena-eke-proxy/certs/cwa-proxy.champonthis.de.pem to components/ena-eke-proxy/certs/cert.pem.

copy valid cert to components/ena-eke-proxy/certs/cert.pem

Build and Flash

May flash partition table:

idf.py partition_table-flash -b 1500000

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash -b 1500000 monitor

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

Structure

The project is divided in different components. The main.c just wrap up all components. The Exposure Notification API is in ena module.

ena

The ena module contains the main functions of eps-ena with Bluetooth scanning and advertising, storing data, handle beacons and check exposure.

  • ena-beacons handles scanned data by storing temporary beacons, check for threshold and store beacons permanently
  • ena-crypto covers cryptography part (key creation, encryption etc.)
  • ena-storage storage part to store own TEKs and beacons
  • ena-bluetooth-scan BLE scans for detecting other beacons
  • ena-bluetooth-advertise BLE advertising to send own beacons
  • ena-exposure compare exposed keys with stored beacons, calculate score and risk
  • ena run all together and timing for scanning and advertising

ena-eke-proxy

This module is for connecting to an Exposure Key export proxy server. The server must provide daily (and could hourly) fetch of daily keys in binary blob batches with the following format

Key Data Rolling Start Interval Number Rolling Period Days Since Onset Of Symptoms
16 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes

Request URL is parametrized with {day-string},({hour} in hourly mode,) {page}, {page-size}.
