The Global Open Source Quality Assurance System proudly presents Global Distributed Tracking (GDT)- a free and open-source tracking platform. By reducing fraud, theft, counterfeiting, and lost shipments with secure encryption and a simple user interface, GDT helps create trust through transparency for your organization.
Project Motivation:
The Global Open Source Quality Assurance System (GOSQAS) enables transparent documentation through Global Distributed Tracking (GDT), an open source software for closed-loop tracking of products, information, and logistics. Originally designed to promote trust in open source medical hardware, GDT has grown to serve an ever-increasing user base to include humanitarian aid networks, biomedical engineering, scientific research, and distributed manufacturing.
Project Concept:
Global Distributed Tracking encrypts user data and ensures its accessibility only through a unique record key, which is linked to a QR code. A cryptographic hash function securely references data via the record key. Keys are generated and appended via browser.
This centralized documentation capability allows us to revolutionize the tracking of global humanitarian aid in the “last mile” using modern computer science and cryptography, without the use of web3 or blockchain. The core language is Javascript/node.js/typescript, using Nuxt, Vue, and Azure blob storage.
We are actively recruiting volunteer programmers and computer scientists, with a time expectation of 6 hours per week for 6 months. Volunteers will be part of a professional computer science team using modern Agile techniques, be exposed to modern cryptographic tools, and have an opportunity to help design novel zero-knowledge notification systems and in browser cryptography.
Ideal volunteers are motivated to design a novel system with enormous potential global impact in the philanthropic, fraud prevention, and supply chains of low- and middle-income countries.
