Public Policy Game-Changer ?
Economic
Times ( 29 July, 2016 ) carries a report , titled :
"
Your Smartphone can be Public Policy Game-Changer
"
This
report describes UIDAI's idea as follows
:
" Chips of Aadhar-enabled smart phones will be encrypted
with UIDAI key and the phones will be
connected to the Aadhar server
The key is a security feature to prevent information leakage .
The server connection will allow instant fingerprint and iris authentication
The technology bar for putting these features in smart phones is
not high - most smart phones can be equipped similarly "
Shri Ajay Bhushan , CEO - UIDAI , added :
" This can be a game-changing feature in phones to become
the identity of a person and let him do more transactions on the phone in a
secure manner .
This
is perhaps the first time something like this will be attempted in the world
Nearly 104 crore Indians have Aadhar and almost 40 crore have
smart phones . Every agency requires authentication via Aadhar
If people don't need to go to any office to authenticate their
identity and get government services, and if they are able to do so through
their mobile phones, this can be a game-changer "
Writing
in Times of India ( 28 July, 2016 / How Digital
Will Save India ) , Shri Nandan Nilekani
, writes :
# Aadhar provides open Application Programming interfaces
or APIs, which can integrate easily into any electronic device . These APIs
enable online authentication using a fingerprint or iris. Recently Samsung
introduced an Aadhar-compliant tablet with a camera that in a single click
performs iris authentication
# More than 290 million bank accounts are linked to Aadhar
today, and several billion dollars of benefits and entitlements have been
transferred to people's bank accounts electronically in real time
# Such platform aggregators will also create jobs, not as
monolithic large organizations, but as millions of small entrepreneurs
connected to a platform
# Indians will either migrate or do outsourcing work. Care
providers around the world will come from India
#
The only place where India can achieve economy of
scale is in services
Will
these visions of Shri Bhushan and Shri Nilekani , get translated into reality -
and in near term ?
