What is Unique Identification(UID) and Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)?
A Unique
Identification is merely a string assigned to an entity that identifies
the entity uniquely.The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)
plans to assign a Unique ID to every person residing in India.
Biome-tric identification system and checks would be used to ensure that
each individual is as-signed one and only UID and the process of
generating a new UID would ensure that duplicates are not issued as
valid UID numbers.
What is UIDAI?
The Unique Identification Authority of India
(UIDAI) has been created, with the mandate of providing a unique
identity to all Indian residents. The UIDAI has published an approach
to pursuing this mandate, and plans to use biometrics to eliminate
duplicates and ensure uniqueness at enrolment.
The AADHAR system
is being designed to eventually service the entire population of India,
and will involve the biometric identification of 1.2 billion residents.
Since the estimated database size (1.2 Billion residents) is an order of
magnitude larger than the current largest biometric database (115
Million), the biometric subsystem will have to be constantly monitored
for accuracy, scalability and performance. To de-risk the entire
program, the system will operate multiple concurrent solutions with the
ability to introduce and test newer solutions.
Each Automated Biometric Identification Subsystem
(ABIS) must implement an interface that is compliant with this
specification. That de-couples the biometric subsystem from the main
application logic, and enables a management layer that can orchestrate
across the multiple solution providers, continuously measure accuracy,
performance and enable better decision making. Initially, the same
interface will be used for enrolment and authentication. At a later
time, authentication may be moved out to a separate sub-system for
better scaling, and replication. More generally, as the UID database
grows in size, the requirements of the biometric system may evolve, and
implementers of this interface will have to keep up with them.
