Background
Main objectives
QRONITON is a contact tracing service with which institutions can fulfill their documentation obligation in the fight against pandemics and health authorities can quickly locate persons at risk. The browser-based web solution works with QR codes, simplifies contact tracing and consistently protects users’ personal data against misuse.
The IT service was developed in cooperation with health authorities and the Robert Koch Institute and satisfies the most stringent data protection requirements. The users’ contact data and the contact chains collected using scans are multiple-encrypted and remain inaccessible until concrete cases of infection occur. A time- and location-dependent encryption system ensures that only the contact data for directly affected users at serious risk of infection can be viewed and forwarded to the health authorities.

Privacy concept
While using the IT service, in general only as little personal data is collected as is absolutely necessary to deal with the Corona crisis. Personal data is processed and passed on exclusively as part of this explicitly social purpose and in compliance with all applicable legal provisions. Under no circumstances will personal data be passed on to unauthorized third parties, i.e. to third parties outside the responsibility of the operator or the healthcare system. In the course of an external audit of the solution, order data processing with QRONITON was classified as harmless. → More details
Encryption
The encryption technology used is based on the latest state of the art technology and precludes data misuse and manipulation. The concept is extremely robust against illegitimate access attempts – in particular by the parties involved themselves. Access to unencrypted data by the IT service operator remains barred at all times. Numerous security mechanisms prevent errors in use and targeted attacks by outsiders. The encryption concept has been verified by independent cryptologists and further audits are possible at any time by disclosing the source code. → More details
