Is the Aadhaar database secured enough?

Hello everyone, now I am going to tell something about the Aadhaar card. Aadhaar is very important for our daily life because it has our biometric details. Due to biometric details, it is most useful. The Indian government have 1.3 core Aadhaar details. It is very dangerous for criminals, terrorist and illegal persons.

Aadhaar has always been in scrutiny. The previous government called it on and the opposition went down heavy on it calling it a scam. They come in power, applaud the move and implement it widely. Now the previous government leaves no opportunity to accuse the security of the Aadhaar database.

The project went big in India. Everyone got pretty serious about it. Last month a report started doing rounds that there was a breach in the Aadhaar database and the information was used to issue SIM cards. Some people were arrested in this matter and everyone started getting curious about how secure the database that contains the record of the entire Indian population is. A recent report suggests that there wasn't any breach at all.

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!

Hello everyone, today we are going to discuss about Aadhaar security.

According to tome Aadhaar is convenient but not secure enough. Aadhaar contains 3 types of information, first your biometric, second your identity, and the third your personal information.

According to CIDR regulations first 2 are under security. But that is not so much true in the third case.

Initially in the Aadhaar act section 8 while accessing the information the form of consent was only yes or not which provided the receiver with the identification information but after the act was revised there were more options which include your personal information (your call history, what you buy, where you go etc) yes this is mentioned in the form but who gives a detailed read to the I agree on statement box.

This is used as a commercial tool for making money.

So, I think Aadhaar is not secured enough to use everywhere and violets the act of privacy to some extent.

Hello everyone thank you for giving me this oppurtunity.

According to me, now the aadhaar card database is more secured when compared to previous database because now they are using fingerprint scanner for everytime a user needs to access the information of aadhaar card holder which is directly linked to his/her number and otp is also being sent to the user for making it more authentic.

Thank you.

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!

Aadhaar Cards distinguished by Government to recognize as a denizen. It establishes by the Central government. It's eternally secure. For illustration, if you desire to change your address it's not the simplest one. It's fully conserved by OTP. But a hacker can go sky scraping if they strive to get the information. It's not the easiest one also extremely.

Hello everyone.

In my view, yes for some extent only because for the database we have to see things like cyber hacking why I'm saying because we know our Aadhar no. Is linked with mobile in today's era it not a difficulty thing to hack a mobile. So I think our country cybersecurity is more important before linking our data with aadhar. Finally in conclusion, I want to say that aadhar is good option for database but before we have to build our cyber security.

Thank you.

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.

Hii friend.

That is the most relevant topic we can discuss. Yes, Aadhaar database is secured its make our work so an easier hacker can't hack our details without knowing our OTP.

But we can't say it's only enough for our security because many people change their mobile no. As per the company offer and if someone gets our Aadharcard they can easily collect our information.

Thank you.
