Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

DigiLocker 2.0 = I am One, I will become Many

 


Context :

DigiLocker 2.0: Load more documents in Digital India's flagship app   /  ET  / 05 Feb 2023

 

Extract :

 

DigiLocker has been the flagship app of the Government of India’s digital initiatives, Digital India. In her budget speech on Wednesday, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman proposed to extend its scope, allowing more documents to be made available in the digital wallet to help more fintech services access and leverage the platform.

For starters, it makes the whole KYC process simpler and works as a one-stop solution for updating identity.

 

The app will use Aadhaar as the foundational identity and PAN as a common identifier for all digital systems of government agencies.

The new version will support enterprise-level DigiLockers for MSMEs ( micro small and medium businesses), trusts and other entities. The idea for this enterprise-level facility is to expand the scope of DigiLocker, which in turn could help fintech innovation services.

 

Companies will be able to alter important documents and the changes will be reflected in all the documents linked to the DigiLocker.

The platform already supports 600 types of documents and is used by more than 146 million users, as per data revealed by the government.

 

The service accepts documents from more than 2,300 issuers and contains over 5.6 billion issued documents. This is already quite a vast expanse that the app covers. But there’s more in store.

For individuals, additional documents will be part of DigiLocker.

 

However, the government hasn’t made clear which documents will be a part of the expansion. But some recent updates do hint at what could be coming.

For instance, the Karnataka Police lately started accepting digital versions of applicants’ proof documents using the DigiLocker service for its recruiting process.

 

This makes it easier to obtain legitimate documents directly from the source and eliminates the need for manual verification

 

The recently launched DigiYatra app also works in integration with the DigiLocker app.

 

 

 


MY  TAKE  :



I am One , I will become Many ………………[  06 Jan 2020 ]

 

Where I proposed :


Ø  How about a card to replace all the above-mentioned cards ?

Ø  Time has come to dispense with all physical cards and merge all of those into, one VIRTUAL CARD

    Ø  How can the Central Government go about replacing ALL physical cards

        with just one VIRTUAL card ?

    Ø  The method of “ merging “ of all identifiers  [ cards ] , must NOT require a

        citizen to fill up any FORM , online or offline

 

          

Following is my suggestion :


         #  Central Govt to launch a online portal called, www.SUIIC.gov.in  (  Single

             Unified Identity for Indian   Citizen )

            

             #   By appropriately enacted Law, Central Govt will order all CARD ISSUING

                    AGENCIES to upload their “ Card Related Databases “ onto SUIIC web

                    server and continue to do so DAILY for new additions to their databases

 

                #   SUIIC will use AI - Machine Learning- Big Data Analytics etc., to

                     merge / collate all kinds of structured  / unstructured databases

                     pertaining to all  kinds of Cards / unique IDENTIFIERS, issued by any

                     entity, to  any citizen

                           

                    These will include Mobile Service Providers and E Mail ID providers

  

               #    This exercise will lead to creation of UNIQUE PROFILE for each citizen,

                     and  named :

                     

                     YUP  ( Your Unique Profile )

                 YUP  ( with unique serial number ) will be that SINGLE CARD which

                      replaces all CARDS

  

               #   YUP will also be the name of a Mobile App supported by SUIIC web

                    server

 

               #   Any citizen can download the YUP ( absolutely VOLUNTARY ), open it

                    on his  smart phone , enter his mobile number / E Mail ID and take

                    a SELFIE of  his own FACE

                              

  

              #   The Mobile App will automatically and instantly, upload the FACE

                   IMAGE onto SUIIC database and the matching YUP of that person

                 

                   

              #    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

 

                    

               #   Just under the FACE PHOTO, there will be a DROP LIST of all the

                    Cards  / Identifiers which have been embedded. Touching any item, will

                   reveal the actual Physical Card embedded. Touching any item, will

                   reveal the actual Physical Card

  

                    

                   

             #   This will enable that citizen to EDIT his personal data online and click

                   SUBMIT

  

            #  Anytime required in future, that citizen can show that YUP photo to any

                party

 

      #   There will be no compulsion for any citizen to use YUP . He may continue

           using his Physical Cards, if he so  desires

 

           ==================================================

 

This is a very broad “ CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK “ – and certainly not

comprehensive by any standard



Eg :

 

Going beyond merging / aggregating / unifyingall existing physical

cards belonging to a person, what about :

 

 #   Enabling him to use YUP to create ( for the first time ), an altogether different

      card ?

  

       #   Enabling a person to create a new Voter Card, upon attaining the age of 18 ?
