Public release of DRIP code 0.1

For installation, follow the README files from the archives. We did updates and testing in July 2022 to check it works. It is not plug and play, but requires significant effort to install (e.g. Google API key).

While we are glad to receive feedback, patches and error reports on the code (mailto gurtov at acm.org), but use it at own risk! We cannot promise any timely answer for the time being due to holidays and lack of personnel

Tested hardware: UA - Raspberry PI 4B + GPS hat + Juice battery, backend- VM Fedora 35, Android - Galaxy S10.

• DRIP Observer Android app and its apk
• DRIP drone (UA) ID transmitter
• DRIP backend registry
• OpenHIP for ID generation (optional)

We also have a registry implementation using Iroha Hyperledger that provides "flight recorder" functionality in a blockchain. It is described in the paper below. IETF Slides
