Identity Devices unveils Biometric Privacy Platform to secure Aadhaar user’s privacy and data
Identity Devices Sweden AB (Identity Devices) has announced an innovative new Biometric Privacy Platform for the Aadhaar ecosystem to enable greater data security, privacy, consent, and confidentiality. Biometric Privacy Platform (BPP) consists of authentication hardware and software for the Aadhaar ecosystem, preserving convenience while increasing personal privacy and data security and putting the resident in charge of the use of their Aadhaar data, including picture, name, address, mobile number and more.
Aadhaar is the world’s largest biometric Digital Identity program with more than 90 per cent of Indians linking Aadhaar to most government and non-governmental services such as those related to taxation, cooking gas subsidy, banking, passports, and so on. Biometric Privacy Platform increases ease of convenience, personal privacy and data security by putting residents in charge of how their Aadhaar data is used.
Biometric Privacy Platform adds a privacy and consumer-choice layer on top of Aadhaar online and offline authentication modes. Devices that have integrated BPP and its authentication modalities enable user interaction to make dynamic choices at the time of each authentication event. BPP’s QR Code offline authentication capability is fully compliant with the Aadhaar act, current Supreme Court rulings, UIDAI requirements and other government policies. The online authentication capability and biometric capture capabilities will also be fully compliant with the UIDAI certification requirements for multi-modal biometric authentication (Face, Finger and IRIS).
Mukesh Singh, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Identity Devices, India, says, “There is enormous demand for fingerprint and iris authentication in India now that systems like Aadhaar have demonstrated the ease-of-use, viability and economic benefits of multi-modal biometric authentication at very large scale. Our pre-certified and easy-to-integrate products directly address the needs of a wide range of device makers to quickly innovate and differentiate their products with biometric experiences and ecosystem integration.”
Identity Devices recently partnered with world-leading biometrics company Fingerprint Cards (Fingerprints) partnership to accelerate biometric adoption in the global Digital Identity, Financial Technology (FinTech), Internet of Things (IoT) and other innovative, fast-growing vertical markets. Under the partnership agreement, Identity Devices will include fingerprint and iris biometric technology from Fingerprints in new products and pre-certified integration kits that make it easy for device makers to add frictionless multi-modal biometric experiences and enable local authentication and access to global and national authentication ecosystems.
