Economic Times ( 29 July, 2016 ) carries a report ,
titled :
" Your Smartphone can
be Public Policy Game-Changer "
This report describes UIDAI's idea as follows :
" Chips of Aadhar-enabled smart phones will be encrypted with UIDAI key and the phones
will be connected to the Aadhar server
The key is a security feature to prevent
information leakage . The server connection will allow instant fingerprint and
iris authentication
The technology bar for putting these
features in smart phones is not high - most smart phones can be equipped
similarly "
Shri Ajay
Bhushan
, CEO - UIDAI , added :
" This can be a game-changing
feature in phones to become the identity of a person and let him do more
transactions on the phone in a secure manner .
This is perhaps the first time something like this will
be attempted in the world
Nearly 104 crore Indians have Aadhar and
almost 40 crore have smart phones . Every agency requires authentication via
Aadhar
If people don't need to go to any office
to authenticate their identity and get government services, and if they are
able to do so through their mobile phones, this can be a game-changer "
Writing in Times of India ( 28 July, 2016 / How Digital Will Save India ) , Shri Nandan Nilekani ,
writes :
# Aadhar provides open Application Programming
interfaces or APIs, which can integrate easily into any electronic device .
These APIs enable online authentication using a fingerprint or iris. Recently
Samsung introduced an Aadhar-compliant tablet with a camera that in a single
click performs iris authentication
#
More than 290 million bank accounts are linked to Aadhar today, and
several billion dollars of benefits and entitlements have been transferred to people's
bank accounts electronically in real time
#
Such platform aggregators will also create jobs, not as monolithic large
organizations, but as millions of small entrepreneurs connected to a platform
# Indians
will either migrate or do outsourcing work. Care providers around the world
will come from India
# The only place
where India can achieve economy of scale is in services
Will these visions of Shri Bhushan and Shri Nilekani , get translated into reality - and
in near term ?
