The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has rolled out a new security mechanism for Aadhaar-based fingerprint authentication, and faster detection of spoofing attempts.
In what would make Aadhaar authentication even more robust and secure, the artificial intelligence and machine learning-based security mechanism will use a combination of both finger minutia and finger image to check the correctness of a fingerprint.
The new two factor/layer authentication has added add-on checks to validate the genuineness of the fingerprint to further cut down the chances of spoofing attempts.
“The move will be of immense use in segments, including banking and financials, telecom and government sectors. It shall also benefit bottom of the pyramid as it will further strengthen the Aadhaar-enabled payment system and curb malicious attempts by unscrupulous elements,” UIDAI said in a statement.
The UIDAI head office and its regional offices are in touch with all entities for facilitating any user agency to switch over to the new secured authentication mode at the earliest.
The adoption of Aadhaar-based authentication transactions has been witnessing an upward trend as it has proved to be a facilitator in availing several welfare benefits and services. By the end of December 2022, cumulative number of Aadhaar authentication transactions had crossed 88.29 billion, clocking an average daily transactions of 70 million. Majority of them are fingerprint-based authentications, indicative of its usage and utility in daily lives.
