Is the Aadhaar database secured enough?

Yes, definitely, it is secured as we can take the example of simcards because earlier there is no restrictions for buying simcards And many of the people misuses this and now we connected our simcards to our Aadhaar card and we can easily detect fake calls also.

As it the unique id given to us by the government of India that can also be beneficial at the time of elections.

But don't you all think that Indian government is making aadhaar card necessary or mandatory in each and every governing field. And if we are having our PAN card for the transaction of money then what is the need of aadhaar card for the same, one disadvantage of aadhaar card is that it is making Things complicated.

Aadhar has become a crucial part of our life in India and a reason to be an Indian citizen.

Advantages of Aadhar:
* Aadhar has become a unique identity for every Indian citizen.
* Using Aadhar, official work gets detailed information of address and personal proofs.
* Linking Aadhar to different banks and government offices enabled sharing of data to unique
profile.
* Ease of registering personal mobile numbers using Aadhar card.
* A common basic identification format on card enable quick verification of address, name,
photo and birthdate of a person.
* Updating personal details on government sites has became easy to edit for all government
branches.

Is it secure?
* According to right to privacy, government acts opposite to the rights.
* Colleges, institutions and various fields asking for Aadhar details have access to basic
information of us.
* Losing an Aadhar card means losing of our personal information.
* Buying something using someone else Aadhar details is an offence but yet this is not yet
secured because usage or linking Aadhar doesn't send confirmation mail or SMS to the
person.
* It has high risk of personal data leakage.

Solution to the problems:
* Government should use it as only basic info container instead of allowing linkage of Aadhar
to private institutes and various places.
* After losing Aadhar card, a quick link to disable the card should be available and a new card
should be generated simultaneously after a period of time.
* Mobile application giving access to our personal Aadhar card must be launched to link or
unlink un-official's places.
* Sharing of data to any official or unofficial should be transparent for person.

Concluding this topic has given us a brief information about how harmful a data breach could be if government doesn't improve Aadhar security issues.
Thank you!

Hello everyone,

In my opinion, the Aadhaar database is secured enough by UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) which is government based security provided to secure our personal databases. The government decided that one nation one card is an Aadhar card hence no need to carry different cards as we previously did.

Nowadays due to digitalization in India, cybercrime is rising day by day but this is not due to the leaking of information in the Aadhar database it's happening due to the careless nature of some persons. Our Aadhar database is secured by our unique fingerprint so no one can hack it unless we provide our biometric. For accessing our information which is given by us in the Aadhar database OTP is needed which comes on our Aadhar linked mobile number unless we didn't provide this OTP none can get our personal information.

Some fraud peoples are there who asks OTP and make fool to us. But don't provide them OTP otherwise they will do false transactions or hack our database hence be careful nowadays while communicating with unknown or sometimes known persons too.

Don't misuse anyone your personal data or information.

The government already provided security to our database so we should be careful while using any online mode.

Thanks.

Hi guys, myself sam.

As per my view, acard is one of the most important factor in this era of digitalization as most of the people do their banking activities online and things are much simple now. We don't have to carry bunch of paper if ourt addhar is linked and it can be done. Easily.

Recently It was in news that a small baby was lost and someone identified him because of addhar card.

So, It's very good for the digital India.

About security, there is no doubt that it is secured by 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 the Aadhaar 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.

Nowadays Aadhaar card is mandatory for everything. It is the identity of a person. Now your identity card is checked everywhere it may be airport or station. It is also used in banks for opening any type of account. Now everyone is using adhaar card as their identity card. In my opinion, Aadhaar database is secured enough.

The step was taken by the government to provide every citizen a unique identification number which we call it as an Adhaar card. But the biggest question arises that is it really secured enough? So according to me, the Aadhaar details are not fully secured because day by day cyber crimes are increasing with the increase in the technology and there are many hacking agencies which can access these codes. But it is very common because if you are sharing your numbers also, the leakage of information also involve in it same as here as well there will be some cons and our government is also working in it so that it will be secured in coming time.

First of all, I thank India bix for giving this opportunity to share my views regarding this aspect, well according to my point of view adhar card is a unique identification of every citizen in India, it tells all prominent aspects of person, it is linked with bank accounts, when we talk about security aspects it is not 100%secure because our adhar card is linked with various banks, it may reach to hands of hackers, one example I just want to say which was happend in my real life, I think it was on the month of June 2018 a person called me and told all the details of my adhar card, I was really panic at tht tym, and he demanded 5 lakh of money in case if I don't pay him, he said I will hack your money in your bank account, I went to police station and informed all this, so from then when ever there is a need for me to give adhar details, I used to think twice, so one thing I want to suggest to you all think twice before giving your adhar details to anyone.

In my opinion, Aadhar is essential to everyone to avail public services and schemes and to keep an eye on black money circulating to overseas. But when we talk about its security it's below par and the recent incident of TRAI chief creates panic in people.

I say that the Aadhar firewall should upgrade on time with new technology.

The government should encourage ethical hacking and to create awareness among people and need to upgrade fastly with new technology.

And finally need to change security systems once or twice a week.

Hi friend's,

As per my point of view, Adhar database is a good initiative which is taken by govt of India to secure our data related to bank, transaction and to monitor all type of crime such as terrorism, cybercrime which is happening in India and extensively growing. To overcome with this problem Aadhar database is crucial to report all those fraud people easily because Aadhar is mandatory to all Indian and every crucial information is linked with Aadhar and Aadhar playing a great role in public, private and education sector it is a prominent step taken by govt to identify the people who have been living here for a long time but still Aadhar is not sure enough.

Recently the government of India comes up with a citizenship bill which has been approved from parliament and president of India now it is an act to prove citizenship where Aadhar database is not enough to prove whether you are a citizen of India or not so finally we can't say Aadhar is secured enough.

Conclusion:

* Aadhaar database is not secured enough to prove citizenship.

* crucial data may be trapped by cybercrime.

* Aadhar is not only to give complete security.

Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identification number issued to Indian citizens by the Central government. It is issued and managed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

Aadhaar card is essentially an identification document issued by the UIDAI after it records and verifies every resident Indian citizen's details including biometric and demographic data.

Aadhaar is not meant to replace existing identification documents like PAN, passport, driving license etc. However, it can be used as a single identification document.

Banks, financial institutions and telecom companies can also use it as a Know-Your-Customer (KYC) verification mode and maintain profiles.

Opening Bank Accounts.

Aadhar Cards can come in handy when opening a bank account. The document can be used for KYC, identification and verification purposes. Financial institutions and banks consider Aadhaar Cards as a valid address and photo ID proofs during the time of opening a bank account.

Disbursing Provident Fund.

Individuals who link their Aadhar Card to their Pension Accounts can have their provident fund disbursed directly to their accounts through their PF organisation.

LPG Subsidy.

By linking the Aadhaar number to the 17 digit LPG ID, users will be able to avail the LPG subsidy directly in their respective bank accounts.
