Aadhaar UID Cards in-built Security Info
“The UID system has an inbuilt security and privacy component” Chairman of Unique Identification Authority of India Nandan Nilekani speaking at the launch of the forum for revitalising of public services (FRPS), a collaborative effort between National Academy of Customs and Excise and Narcotics and the direct taxes regional training institute (DTRTI).
“This system ensures that UID database could not be read except for authentication and could not be accessed except on grounds like national security” he said.
The project, which attempts to give a unique identity number to the country’s over billion people and expected to be rolled out shortly, would help in delivery of government’s welfare schemes, boosting financial inclusion, beside enabling other service providers like banks, insurance companies to tap on the UID for authentication purposes.
He said “it could also help in setting up of micro ATMs as part of the government’s objective to bring in financial inclusion. Through the UID, a grocery store in a village could help in a beneficiary of welfare scheme to withdraw cash by simply providing the UID number.The store, could authenticate the beneficiary through the UID number. This way we could have micro ATMs everywhere,” he said referring to thousands of homeless people or those without birth certification or other identification proof.
He also enlisted the other ways the UID number could help in terms of banking, public distribution system, employment schemes, healthcare and education. “The UID number could eliminate fake beneficiaries” he added.
