We need a function that fills up the number of reports when there are only a few of them. The reason is that you can't find out which reports come from one person alone by doing frequent queries.

Could you elaborate what you mean by "fill up the number of reports"? Do you mean fake reports?

Probably would have to be signed fake reports, yes. This could generate dangerous false positives. It might be possible to further reduce the likelihood for this occurring by using some value in the memo field that would be a shared information from the environment, something like

  • the modulo of hour of first contact,
  • the rough RSSI range of infected device

or a combination thereof.
