Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

 Dear Vinayak ,

 

 

A few days ago, I sent to you, my following blog / e-mail :

 

Digital Bus of Mumbai 

 

To that, I just added following :

 

 

 

Added on 25 April 2022 :

 

 

DIGI - YATRA : Here is how the new System works for Self Registration for Touchless Tavel

 

(  Eco Times  /  23  April 2022 )

 

Extract  :

 

>    “Passengers can create a DY credential with identity data, travel data and if

 

       needed even Health Data. All these Data Points are tagged to the SINGLE

 

       TOKEN face biometric of the  passenger

 

 

>  The DY credentials would be created using SELF SERVICE mode by the

 

    passenger with a Govt of India identity that is possible to be validated digitally.

 

    Right now, Aadhar and Driving License are options available. Others like

 

    passport e-passport will be addded in the future

 

 

>   The DY credentials will be encrypted and stored in a secure Wallet on the

 

     passenger's Smartphone. The data will not be centrally stored to minimize risk

 

     of thet or loss. 

 

 

>   DY credentials are shared only when travel happens and shared with

 

     passenger's consent ( by him / her ) with Airlines, Airports and Regulatory

 

     Agencies, if needed

 

 

>  Airlines will share passenger data with the DY Biometric Boarding System of

 

   Airport operators at least 6 hours before flight departure time on a secure line

 

   for the purpose of ticket and ID validation

Is this " inching forward " to  :

 

 

I am One , I will become Many  [  06 Jan 2020 ]

 

 

 

Extract :

 

 

>  Central Govt to launch a online portal called,



www.SUIIC.gov.in

 

(  Single Unified Identity for Indian Citizen )









Ø  By appropriately enacted Law, Central Govt will order all CARD ISSUING



    AGENCIES to upload their “ Card Related Databases “ onto SUIIC web server and



    continue to do so DAILY for new additions to their databases





 

Ø   SUIIC will use AI - Machine Learning - Big Data Analytics etc.,  to merge / collate



     all kinds of structured / unstructured databases pertaining to all kinds of Cards /



     unique IDENTIFIERS, issued by any entity, to any citizen





 

These will include Mobile Service Providers and E Mail ID providers





 

Ø  This exercise will lead to creation of UNIQUE PROFILE for each citizen, and named :



YUP  ( Your Unique Profile )



YUP ( with unique serial number ) will be that SINGLE CARD which replaces all CARDS





 

 

Ø  YUP will also be the name of a Mobile App supported by SUIIC web server





 

Ø  Any citizen can download the YUP ( absolutely VOLUNTARY ) , open it on his smart



    phone , enter his mobile number / E Mail ID and take a SELFIE of his own FACE



 

 

Ø  The Mobile App will automatically and instantly, upload the FACE IMAGE onto



    SUIIC database and the matching YUP of that person





 

Ø  SUIIC will embed into the FACE PHOTO , all data of all the CARDS ever issued to



     that person ( using STEGANOGRAPHY ), and send it back to the owner’s mobile



     phone





 

Ø  Just under the FACE PHOTO, there will be a DROP LIST of all the Cards /



    Identifiers which have been embedded . Touching any item, will reveal the actual



    Physical Card





 

Ø  This will enable that citizen to EDIT his personal data online and click SUBMIT

 

 

Ø  Anytime required in future, that citizen can show that YUP photo to any party



 

Ø  There will be no compulsion for any citizen to use YUP . He may continue using his



     Physical Cards, if he so desires

 

 

With regards,

Hemen Parekh
