Like every database, Aadhar is also enough secured, but unlike others, many persons try to breach the security of ADB. Unique Identification Authority of India (UIAOI) is also ensuring about the security and third party access of data inculcate in ADB. Some persons who wants to oppose just to put their view in public and with improper information are opposing for this. I think all the services of public domain should be attached with this so life would be more globally accessible as well as more comfortable.

The security of the Aadhaar database, managed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) , has been a topic of extensive debate. UIDAI has implemented multiple layers of security, including encryption and regular audits, to protect the data. However, concerns about data breaches, unauthorized access, and privacy have persisted.
While UIDAI continues to enhance security measures, the effectiveness of these safeguards remains a point of discussion among security experts and privacy advocates.

Hello everyone.
As far as, Aadhar card is concerned, it's a unique identification of Indian citizen. Aadhar card database is a huge collection of personal records. By using highly authenticated and secure technology it is still trying to make the database of Aadhar more secure and safe.
But due to more usage at a number of places and also due to the alarming rise in hacking activities it is not totally secure.
As it is highly confidential, proper encryption schemes should be used to make it secure.

Yes, I think it is very secured thing. When we use Aadhar number any purpose as we know our bank accounts gas connection pan card voter I'd all these are connected with that 12 digit number. In Aadhar card, your mobile no is also attached when you access anything through your Aadhar no a notification msg is sent to your mobile no. When you approved that thing then only that service get accessed.
The government are taking gòod care of it that personal information of any individual is secured or not.

It's a good initiative taken by the government to make Aadhar card for everyone. But then there is a question mark about is it really secure? The system should be such that only user n authorities (not everyone. Only selected like 2 or 2 in town) can get access to data. It has been noticed that some other agents can also access data to make policies, pan card etc. This factory makes the Aadhar database unsafe. And secondly increasing cybercrime can tend to steal and manipulation of the database.

Good evening friends,
Yes, the Adhaar card is secured according to my point of view. Because through adhar card we can identify the basic details such as address proof, dob, name, age. We can easily identify the person belong to the citizen of India and it is also useful for the government in recruitment process, bank account, railways reservation, domestic flight, etc.
It is also used to recognize a right and wrong person and protest terrorist attack in the form of security purpose.
Thanku.

Is the Aadhar database is not safe?
some people it is not safe but the database is trying to every minute they are trying built a firewall to be secured the information of people. Manoj Sinha is the telecommunication minister of India. He is trying to secure the Aadhar information for every second to be secure. They are really trying to secure the Aadhar information for people. We can't blame anyone for Aadhar information.No one can create any fake id it is very difficult to create.

Aadhaar card is the proof of identity that we are Indian. It is a world wide identification that can be accessed to each and every individual in India but now a days the data base of it not secured. This is because of the government reclassness towards every work. This means what ever they initialize, in the initial stages the actions bwill be taken severe but at the last the government is not at all bothered about its scams. Hence in my view the Aadhaar database is not secured.

Hello friends.
In my opinion, Aadhaar card is safe and secured enough, today is the identity of everyone we need it as a primary Identification card.
Previously Voter ID card was used as primary identification but it cannot be made available to a person having age less than 18-year so Aadhar card introduced and it is, of course, safe and secure.
There are some data like address and contact detail can be gained by Aadhaar number but these are not secret data and are shareable.

The aadhar database is not secured enough since a security researcher brought to the notice that the demographic data of over five lakhs people were leaked on a website. The website were immediately closed but this shows that the data is not secured.
UIDAI itself lodgeg complain against axis bank to use biometric which is violation of aadhar act. Also the peoples whose biometric was used were not informed. All these shows that UIDAI has to work hard to secure aadhar database.
