All of us have created dozens of passwords – to log
into Search Engines / E Com web sites / Mobile Apps / Fintech Apps / Govt web
sites / Banks / News web sites / Travel sites / Service Providers web sites ( mobile
– internet – electricity – gas etc )
And keep clicking “ Forgot Password ? “ link , every
now and then
Some of us store these passwords on a piece of paper
Others store in a Excel sheet or in some “ Password
Storage Software “
But all of us hate to remember these umpteen passwords
So, this news brings a lot of relief :
Extract :
Besides Apple, most technology giants including Amazon, Facebook, Google are board
members of the alliance which wants
password-only logins to be replaced with secure and fast
login experiences across websites and apps using the emerging standard WebAuthn
WebAuthn stands
for Web Authentication
– and briefly described as follows :
This specification
defines an API enabling the creation and use of strong, attested, scoped, public key-based credentials by web applications, for the purpose of strongly
authenticating users.
Conceptually, one or more public key
credentials, each scoped to a given WebAuthn
Relying Party, are created by
and bound to authenticators as requested by the web application.
The user agent
mediates access to authenticators and their public key
credentials in order to
preserve user privacy.
Authenticators are responsible for ensuring that no operation is performed
without user consent.
Authenticators provide cryptographic proof of their
properties to Relying Parties via attestation.
This specification
also describes the functional model for WebAuthn conformant authenticators, including their signature and attestation functionality.

Hey , I don’t understand a word of this !
But that did not deter me from suggesting following
methods, whereby Indians can login to any web site , by
just one click !
Without waiting for FIDO
Alliance to convince all the web sites of the world (1,295,973,827
according to Netcraft's January 2020 Web Server Survey
) to adopt WebAuthn , Shri RaviShankar Prasadji could deploy one of the
following methods :
[ A ]
With appropriate law, mandate all web sites to display the following message
for user login :
“ Log me in with
www.IndiaDataCustodian.gov.in
“
To know how we can do this, without waiting for
acceptance of WebAuthn , read :

Demographic Data [ 4 D ]

Nations
===============================================================================
[ B ]
Launch a portal “www.SUIIC.gov.in “
[ SUIIC = Single
Unified Identity for Indian Citizen )
as described at :
I
am One , I will become Many
-
Where I suggested the following process :
Ø
Any citizen can download the mobile app , YUP = Your Unique Profile (
absolutely VOLUNTARY ) , open it on his smart phone , enter his mobile number /
E Mail ID and take a SELFIE of his own FACE
Ø
The Mobile App will automatically and instantly, upload the FACE
IMAGE onto SUIIC database and the matching YUP of that
person
Ø
SUIIC will embed into the FACE PHOTO , all data of all the CARDS
ever issued to that person ( using STEGANOGRAPHY ), and send it back to the
owner’s mobile phone
=========================================================
Is this feasible ?
Seems so ! Here is evidence :
“
Today, Intuit’s users sign into its portfolio of mobile apps seamlessly with unique biometric
identifiers like their fingerprint or facial recognition patterns, or even your
phone’s passcode.
And
Intuit’s login process isn’t just more convenient. It offers another level of
security – thanks to FIDO Authentication. “
=========================================================
Any
Beneficial Bye-Products of this suggestion ?
Following the “ Law of Unintended
Consequences “, at least two , viz :
Ø Each
Indian can earn up to Rs 30,000 per month,
simply from logging in on web sites !
Ø With
aggregation / compilation / standardization / normalization, of PERSONAL DATA
of our entire population, government can do away with CENSUS – CAA – NPR – NRC etc
.
========================================================
Dear Shri RaviShankar
Prasadji,
I urge you to seize this
opportunity of making all opposition to CAA – NPR – NRC etc., irrelevant , by holding
a COUNTRY-WIDE REFERENDUM as follows :
“ Should the Government launch
a Digital Initiative
to enable you to earn Rs 30.000 pm ? “
[ YES
/ NO ]
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
