Global banking body lauds India’s digital public infra / ET / 06 May 2022

Extract :

Ø The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has endorsed India’s Data Empowerment Protection Architecture ( DEPA ).

BIS said the experience with DEPA suggests that a consent-based system can operate at scale with low transaction costs.

In DEPA, data subjects – through a granular data consent system – are expected to control what data they wish to share, with whom and for how long.

Ø India has shown that this kind of digital public infrastructure allows nations to leapfrog and adopting DEPA, or the account aggregator framework, can tremendously benefit nations in financial, healthcare, skilling and other sectors, it said in a joint paper with think-tank iSPIRT.

Ø Citizens from those countries that have not been able to benefit from the system in a structured manner will gain with such frameworks, said Siddharth Tiwari, chief representative for Asia and the Pacific at BIS and one of the authors of the paper.

Ø While speaking about the goal of the paper, co-author Sharad Sharma said it was aimed at making people understand that one can get protection and privacy but can also get innovation of data.

He said that traditionally, it has always been one or the other.

Ø “India's DEPA model attempts to resolve this by offering a solution that ensures privacy while at the same time enabling innovation. In addition, it provides a federated data system resilient to data breaches through which users get a single view of their data. This paper explains these concepts in more detail,” Sharma, who is also co-founder at iSPIRT Foundation, added.

Ø The paper has been authored by Tiwari, Sharma, Siddharth Shetty of iSPIRT and Frank Packer, regional adviser, BIS representative office for Asia and the Pacific.

Ø For developed countries, there are various sectors where the idea of consented data flows is missing in a particular subset, said Rahul Matthan, a partner with law firm Trilegal.

Ø “Everyone is under the gun as far as data regulations are concerned,” Matthan said. “They are reluctant to look to technology for the solution because they're nervous that they may not have fundamental privacy principles built into them. In a sense, DEPA with the way it has been constructed based on the electronic consent artefact, allows for these solutions.”

Dear Shri Ashwini vaishnawji – Shri Rajeev Chandrasekharji ,

For past few years, I have been urging the government to focus on :

# Enabling Social Media users to “ Own “ their data

# Then enable these users to “ Monetize “ their data

Towards this, I have been urging implementation of my following earlier e-mails :

Ø SARAL ( Single Authentic Registration for Anywhere Login )….[ 10 Feb 2019 ]

In DEPA , we now have an internationally recognized / appreciated / copied , FOUNDATION which would enable us to implement the SARAL SUPERSTRUCTURE

Should you need to convince your Cabinet Colleagues for implementing SARAL, just tell them :

“ SARAL will enable each Indian User of Social Media to receive ( by way of compensation ) , Rs 30,000 per month – at no cost to the central treasury “

With regards,
