Thanks. Very useful
ReplyDeleteIt is disheartening to note that the purpose of aadhaar is not understood properly OR misunderstood.It is an identification card issued by central government.The authority who wants to verify and establish the identity of any person, in terms of residential address ,phone number,physical photo etc ,he would scan details of the finger prints.Then he would match that scanning with the already centrally stored scanned data in the system online.A person will be identified upon matching of the present scan and the already stored scan.
ReplyDeleteIf any ones scanned data is obtained by cracking the system,what he would do that scan data?In the absence of the card holder the verification has to be done physically comparing the scans.Such verification is not authorised for any financial transactions.It should be understood in this context.By unlocking my finger print data what somebody else can do illegally,it should be explained before raising such question
What is the necessity of locking and unlocking and when and why it is needed these action by the Aadhar holder.
