The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) entered into a five-year partnership with the Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) to strengthen Aadhaar’s robustness, security, and reliability. The collaboration will focus on critical areas such as fraud and anomaly detection, development of biometric liveness detection tools, and refining biometric matching algorithms. This initiative is crucial for protecting Aadhaar from potential misuse while ensuring its efficient functioning as the backbone of India’s digital identity ecosystem. By involving ISI, a premier institute with expertise in advanced data science and statistical methods, UIDAI aims to bring cutting-edge research into national identity management.
