  1. Aadhar technology GurneetKaur, Nitin Mangal

  2. What is Aadhar? • Unique Identification Number linked to a person’s demographic and biometric information. • Mission is full enrolment of all Indian residents, with special focus on poor and under privileged. • One of the main aim is to improve service delivery to the poor.

  3. What problem Aadhar solves? • Existing identity databases are laden with problems of fraud and duplicate entries. • Aadhar will prevent this by ensuring proper information verification. • Suitable measures will be taken to include people lacking identification documents.

  4. Aadhar Architecture

  5. Entities & Roles • UIDAI • Will develop Aadhar database initially • Will provide standards to be followed • Registrars • Operate to provide enrolment services • Eg. Dept in state govt, banks, telephone companies • Enrolment agency • Provide necessary conditions for enrolment of residents • Collect demographic data prior to enrolment drive

  6. Entities & Roles • Introducer • Authorized by UIDAI or Registrar • Mechanism introduce to allow for missing documents • Typically officials, school teachers, aanganwadi folks • Resident • Indian national who wishes to obtain UIDAI

  7. Features • Enrolment on proper verification • Demographic and biometric information • Central ID Repository (CIDR) • A central UID database will be maintained • Leverage existing infrastructure • Partner with agencies to act as ‘Registrars’ who will issue Aadhar after connecting with CIDR

  8. Features (contd) • Online authentication • Provide way for agencies to compare data with CIDR • Resident privacy • All transactions with CIDR result only in ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ • Security • Aadhar database will use latest security features

  9. Network Security • Sensitive data flows over the network between the registrars and the UIDAI • Data encrypted using the public key provided by the registrar. • Registrar maintains the <public key, private key> pair securely.

  10. De-Duplication • Comparison using biometric data (iris and ten fingerprints) – only one chance to enter database. • Enormous computing power needed – large “grid” of networked computers will be used. • Complex algorithms to quickly compare biometrics have been procured from specialist vendors.

  11. Application hosted in CIDR • Enrolment – serves client enrolment request • Authentication – identity authentication services • Fraud Detection – misrepresentation of information • Administrative – user management, role, access • Analytics and Reporting – statistics, aggregate level • Information – information about the system • Contact Center – query the database • Logistics – data, printing

  12. UBCC • UIDAI Biometric Centre of Competence • To design biometric systems that enables India to achieve uniqueness in the national registry • UBCC will specify initial biometric systems and enhance features at regular intervals • Constantly innovate to push the state of the art in biometrics to achieve UIDAI’s objectives.
