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.

According to me, Aadharcard is secure for everyone. Nowadays this is mandatory for everyone. This made one of our identification. It is unique I'd of everyone who has biometric of oneself. In the process of Ahardcard generation, there is biometric features required like a fingerprint, eye scan and also OTP.

We don't need to carry other identifications like passports, voter id, bank passbooks and driving licences because these are all linked to ADARCARD. It is beneficial to all age of person because below 18 we don't get this identification.

When we withdraw the money from the bank we can easily draw using ADARCARD. No one can hack our bank details unless providing our biometric. It gives safety to money.

Aadhaar is a unique identity in India which requires everywhere for every purpose. It's good decision taken by govt to link Aadhaar to a bank account, pan card, even Aadhaar is like identity card of India. This decision is very Resultable for the age is below 18. Because this category doesn't have any identity of India. As per my view, Aadhaar card is one of the most important factors 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 a bunch of paper if our Aadhaar is linked and it can be done Easily.

So, moral is that Aadhaar is the best thing to grow our country only we have to implement more security for that.

Hello everyone good morning all of you.

Now, I am going to put my view on the topic is the Aadhaar database security enough?

First I tell you that it is a good and great initiative by our Indian government to mandatory Aadhar card in every government non-government related service from when the government announced Aadhaar mandatory we all free from tension the carry lots of many types of cards like voter ID ration card and many other and it is a good example of one Nation one card. Through the Aadhar card we withdraw the cash money and transfer it to another bank account without bank passbook ATM or other bank related information because Aadhar card attached in our bank account.

Thanks, thanks a lot.

I think the Aadhar database is secure until one gives his own detail to the public. For example if I give my phone number here then am exposing my detail to all of them until that no one knows our phone number same like government database is safe but its depend on the other vendor like networks and other sectors who do not protect them recently TRAI lead has posted his Aadhar card number online in a challenging manner to hacker to hack his details and that lead to his data leak. That's what I have pointed out in beginning information is been passed out only from actual owner knowingly or unknowingly. After that court has reclaimed the order to mandatory for Aadhar to banks that's a good move by them.

Aadhaar means something which is necessary and it has been popularised in India that it will represents our existence and thus can be used in any of the areas as a proof. The Aadhaar no. Was used everywhere from getting the SIM approval to linking the bank account, from buying a ration by poor to using it as a proof for getting a room in hotel, etc. It is used everywhere and thus the problem of leakage of data arose as the cyber security in India is not that advanced. And so the leakage of data leads to breach of privacy of every individual so the Supreme Court has decided that it cannot replace the other government proofs such as voter card and that it cannot be considered as a necessary tool.

According to my points of view, Adhar database not 100% but mostly secured because UIDAI is continuously updating its security parameters looking new threats in cyberspace.

As we know that in Aadhar database Name, address, fingerprint and the facial photograph is kept recorded only besides other information about the family, bank account details, financial, property details will never have recorded in the database,

As we give Aadhar number to the bank, a mobile company, they only send Aadhar number and biometrics to UIDAI for verification for identity only thought they do not send bank account details, so we can say that Aadhar is more secure and trust than another identity in India.

Thanks.

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.

In recent days Aadhar is making its place in every news columns by either good or bad ways.

Aadhar launched by the government of India has reached almost every part of India and almost every Indian are registered under it. The government has made aadahar compulsory for many things like a bank account, Pan card and many more. Almost every scheme and programme launched by the government requires Aadhar for it.

But the recent news of Aadhar being unsafe for the transaction or it reveals our retails in public had led a question in my mind is relying on Aadhar to this much is good?

Answer will surely be available when our higher authority clearly talk about it and ensure every citizen.

Hello everyone,

According to me, Aadhaar is very safe and secure. It is a very good initiative from the government of India for the identification of the citizen of India and till now almost every citizen has an Aadhar card. It is very safe and secure as to access addhar detail one needs the phone to which the OTP is sent. Moreover to alter the data one needs biometrics to match.

Yes like any other system the Aadhar is getting better day by day and some glitches are present but it absolutely secure.

It has helped in the identification of people easily. It has made sending the subsidiary to poor easy and also decreased corruption.

Thus Aadhar is a very good and secure system.
