Aadhaar is a 12 digit individual identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India on behalf of the Government of India. India embarked upon a large-scale initiative to provide unique identification to every resident. This initiative coincides with increased focus on social inclusion and development. The scale of the initiative is unprecedented, and its implementation involves active participation of central, state and local bodies as well as public and private sector agencies. Aadhaar has been envisioned as a means for residents to easily and effectively establish their identity, to any agency, anywhere in the country, without having to repeatedly produce identity and address documentation. Precision has designed and developed various biometric products which have been certified by STQC for use in the UID ecosystem.
Aadhaar authentication is the process through which the Aadhaar number of a resident of India, along with other attributes (demographic/biometrics/OTP) is submitted to UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) for verification; the CIDR verifies whether the data submitted matches the data available in CIDR and responds with a “Yes/No”. The purpose of Authentication is to enable residents to prove their identity and for service providers to confirm that the residents are ‘who they claim to be’ in order to supply services and provide access to benefits.
Aadhaar e-KYC is an electronic substitute (to conventional paper-based KYC), which is instant and paperless for industry use to meet KYC requirement of Banking, Telecom, Insurance, Depository Participants and any other legal entity registered in India.
Precision Biometric helps organizations with the implementation of e-KYC, providing advice on the processes involved and necessary STQC certified biometric devices, InnaIT Aadhaar SDKs & integration support, implementation and ongoing support services.
