Adhar was introduced by the govt to make the government more transparent. A very famous judgement i.e. (puttaSwami vs union of India) of supreme court is also linked to it concerning the right to privacy. As per my opinion I think we can trust Aadhar and it is very well secured. The underlying technique behind Aadhar I. E, the biometrics makes it duplicate proof. Initially there was much debate about it, people were saying it will do some harm with their right to privacy but we all are very well aware of the today's scenario. Of course, govt was trying to bring Aadhar in almost every aspect but as supreme court said that in Aadhar act it was clearly mentioned that it is going to be used for direct benefit transfer of services. Aadhar is just treated as a resident and identity proof and the govt is using it for providing the benefits of various schemes. Moreover, the Aadhaar database also facilitates targeted policy making.

Hello Everyone,

The topic for today's discussion is Aadhar Database secured enough according to my point of view to handle database of such a populated country Like India is not a small deal therefore to make the information of a person at one place government came to a solution and introduced aadhar which contains every information of a person from it's phone number to Email Id to his finger printd to Address and much more.

Having these credential information one might think of its security because this is the time when technology is enhanced therefore made some garbage like persons called crackers who steal the data and sell on the deep web one picture, one Id will have handsome amount un deep web. But the main thing for every government safety of it's citizens are more prior than anything else and having aadhar database is the work initiated by the government so we can consider it to be safe.

THANK YOU.

First of all, thank you for giving me an opportunity to put my views on a very amazing topic i.e. is the Aadhaar database secured enough,

So, first of all, I want to start my discussion by explaining some of the basic features which the Aadhaar card is having.

It has all the data related to our biometrics which includes our iris scan, and fingerprint scan it starts under the slogan of one nation one card talking about some of the advantages which the Aadhar card is giving us is; First, in an earlier time, we need to carry a bunch of documents to open a single bank account but now because of Adhaar card it becomes very simple and easy, in earlier days even for activation of a single sim card it almost takes 4-5 days but now agent just take our fingerprint scan and validate with our Aadhar database after validation it activates within a second which is very good from the part of digital India also.

Hello everyone,

This topic is very relevant to our daily life. In our daily life, we used Aadhar card many of the times like for bank related works, for sim card or any other documentation. In Aadhar card our basic information is mentioned like name, address, contact number Etc.

And yes it is more secure with a comparison with previous voter id because of the fingerprinting facility. No one can use your identity without your fingerprint.

In spite of that, we have to more aware of these things. However the government of India always broadcasting news about that don't give your any type of information to any stranger.

Because with the development of technology hackers and thieve also becoming more cunning they are also using different methods of hacking your valuable money and document.

So as a conclusion this is the more convenient id proof of every person.

Thank You!

Today I am Discuss about Aadharcard database is secured enough. I think there need to doing more work to secured aadhar database. I know that the database of aadhar card is secured by uidai (unique indentityfication authority of india). But it is not fully secured because there are many hackers that hack any Id, and any information that they want to know. And this is very bad situation for that people whose database was stole. Because aadhar is identity for apl persons that have aadhar. And in today's life aadhar is used at all places like opening account, pan card and for voter id, resident prove and for buying sim for mobile and for all this places aadhar card is used so this is very harmful for peoples whose aadhar information is stolen. So, I think authorities want's to make more way to secured aadhar card database. And peoples are also aware for their aadhar card.

Thankyou.

Hello friends. I'm Mayank.

In my opinion, Aadhaar card is safe as Unique Identification Authority of India (UIAOI) has claimed to have not even a single breach from its biometric data since its existence.

Yes Aadhaar card no may be publically available but UIAOI claims that Aadhaar is just like any other id like phone no, therefore, is never to be treated as a confidential document. By simply knowing someone's Aadhaar, no one can impersonate and harm him because Aadhaar alone is not sufficient, it requires biometrics to authenticate one's Identity.

And I think that we should not be get confused or carried away by fake news on Facebook or other means of media.

Definitely linking your Aadhaar card with LPG, Bank account, Voter ID, etc that have been made compulsory by the government, so that every citizen can get the benefits through government schemes and more.

I think that the Aadhar number is good scheme started by the government for the unique identification of a person. If we think that it is the generation of technology and nothing Is secure because of hackers then could you please tell me what is secure in this world? Nothing. Today everything is running with the technology. Are we think when shopping online and giving the credit card details. Is it secure? No. We all know about that but we do. Is storing the information in the registers is secure? No. So nothing is secure. And if this scheme was made by the government, then they also think about the security of this. If hackers can hack the information then hackers also can protect the information. Today if we need any govt or other services then we just need an Aadhar card. So, I think it is good as well as a secure scheme by the government. Thanks.

Yeah, definitely Aadhar database is secured as it is a unique ID for the identification of people for taking example like in any murder case if the victims face is brutally beaten up and police didn't get information by simply see the body then police can use the Aadhar card to reveal the identity of the person and from our Aadhar card we can identify fake calls too and if there is a bank problem then we can get information through Aadhar too like mobile number and many other things.

Besides these above mentioned facilities Aadhar card also includes various steps to access anything or get information which makes some people even difficult to understand the procedure and if there is an emergency and urgent need of Aadhar card to resolve the problem then I didn't think that not every person would carry his/her Aadhar card in the pocket every time.

Yes, from my point of view, the Aadhar database is secure enough. And it is a great decision taken by our government to make Aadhar card compulsory in every field like in government field, bank accounts, job applications form, etc. So Aadhar card number is essential day by day. Everything is linked with your Aadhar number like bank acc. And if a hacker wants to hack your account through your Aadhar number he or she won't be successful because at the end of the process it requires an OTP (one time password) which is the most important part of that. The OTP is sent on your mobile number which is linked through your Aadhar card. So hackers can't have the access to your OTP without your knowledge. And it will only be possible if you are a dumbass or idiot. So be aware and keep calm everything will be okay it's secure enough.

Hello everyone.

Here we are discussing that is Aadhaar card secured enough?

Actually, Aadhaar database has information on our residence, our mobile no. Our D.O.B. (mainly Aadhaar card is used for this) and our biometric sign. Sometimes we give Aadhaar card no. To do our work and with it we give our biometric sign also. But some fraud people disuse that our information.

For example, I remember one incident of my life, my friend went to renew his sim and he was requested to give his Aadhaar no. With his biometric sign but that time that man kept his biometric sign separately and that man used that biometric sign of his paytm kyc. When my friend thinks to his paytm kyc it shows " you have already use this Aadhaar no. With other paytm account. And now there is no way to find who is using his Aadhaar card.

Thank you.
