TITLE: Large Scale Biometric Identity Management System: India’s UID Project – an Overview

ABSTRACT: As India moves towards large scale e-Governance adoption, a soft infrastructure for Government service delivery is needed to ensure efficiency and accountability across multiple systems. A national ID system is crucial to improve the efficiency and transparency of various e-Governance initiatives. The UID (Unique Identity) project of India has the vision of empowering every resident of India with a unique identity and providing a digital platform to authenticate anytime anywhere. Using biometrics, it provides an instant, electronic, non-repudiable proof of identity. This system is built on a sound strategy and a strong technology backbone and has evolved into a vital digital infrastructure. This lecture encompasses discussion on Large Scale Identity Management Systems with a detailed case study of India’s UID Project.
