The project about-face identification

1. Aadhaar adds face to identity

2. Aadhaar Card Number is a 12 digit identification
number, issued by Unique Identification Authority of
India (UIDAI) to all the residents of India for the
purpose of Unique Identification for Individuals.
The Unique Identification Authority of India
(UIDAI) was established in February 2009,
attached to the Planning Commission.

4.  The Unique Identification number (UID) will only provide
identity
 A pro-poor approach
 Enrolment of residents with proper verification
 A partnership model
 Enrolment will not be mandated
 The number will not contain intelligence

6.  The purpose of the UIDAI is to issue a unique identification number
(UID) to all Indian residents that is
– robust enough to eliminate duplicate and fake identities, and
– can be verified and authenticated in an easy, cost effective way

7.  In order to provide more choice to citizen authentication.
 In the case of old age, hard worker and children's(before 5
year) are not able to register or scan their fingerprint on the
scanner.

8. UIDAI emphasised that the new method, which will be allowed on
need basis, will “only be allowed only in fusion mode along with one
more authentication factor combined with either fingerprint or iris
or OTP to be able to successfully authenticate an Aadhaar number
holder.”

MSIF has been a focus of research area. Still there is possible to improve
the MSIF techniques, particularly in image fusion. Multi sensor image
fusion (MSIF) has become vital signal processing tool in image
processing for improving visual interpretation of various applications
such as enhanced vision system, robotic vision & navigation, machine
vision, medical diagnosis, surveillance, remote sensing and military. The
objective of MSIF is to combine (integrate) the visual information from
source images (images to be fused) without introducing any artefacts.
Image fusion algorithms and fusion quality evaluation metrics are being
developed.

10. Government has so far spent Rs 5,630 crore on UID project and generated as
many as 78.65 crore Aadhaar numbers under the scheme, Parliament was
informed on 17-01-18.
"The approved outlay for UID Scheme is Rs 13,633.22 crore for the period 2009-
2017. The total amount spent on the project up to February 28 is Rs 5,630.48
crore," Planning Minister Rao Inderjit Singh said in a written reply to Lok
Sabha.
The Unique Identification Authority of India came into existence in January
2009, to issue a unique identification (UID) number to all Indian residents. One
of the objectives of the project is to eliminate duplicate and fake identities.
Singh agreed that some cases of delayed delivery and non-receipt of Aadhaar
letter have been reported from time to time.

The measure are expected to safe guard privacy and ease
authentication.

13. The photographs captured nearly half a decade back with
an extremely low resolution camera stood hardly any
chance given that hackers were able to bypass even the 3D
face model recognition developed by one of the biggest
tech pioneers, he added.

14. Two-factor authentication is good, but face is a bad factor for
authentication,” said Ankush Johar, director at Infosec Ventures,
a firm that provides infrastructure security solutions for
commercial and government organisations. “Although adding an
extra layer of security for Aadhar holders seems to be a good
initiative, adding facial recognition might not do much good. Not
only it isn’t too difficult to replicate as compared to
other biometrics, but also the major problem lies in the source of
the images used as the authentication mechanism.
