AADHAR TECHNOLOGY
Gurneet Kaur, Nitin Mangal
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.
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.
Aadhar Architecture
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
