5 Simple Tips to Keep Aadhaar Number and Information Safe

In India, the Aadhar card is the standard document of identification and residence. When filing an ITR, the government of India has ordered that each individual's Aadhar card be linked to their particular PAN (Income Tax Return). As a result, tax-related information will be available through Aadhar. Furthermore, the Aadhar Card must be linked to bank accounts in order for the government to gain access to individual financial information via this utility document. Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) and Aadhar Pay are two government and private money transfer programs that are related to Aadhar. If someone gains access to your Aadhar Card, he or she can now collect data from related/linked services. Furthermore, Aadhar contains biometric information such as iris and fingerprint data, which could be exploited if it falls into the wrong hands. As a result, it's a good idea to keep your Aadhar card safe.  Here are five simple ways to keep your Aadhaar from being misused. Do not post...

The Aadhaar Card has evolved into a critical financial instrument, closely linked to your financial transactions, tax information, bank information, and much more. Without an Aadhaar Card, it is nearly impossible to carry out a number of basic financial transactions. While it has become absolutely necessary to obtain an Aadhaar Card, concerns have been raised about the security of the Aadhaar database.

Individual information is inherently protected in the UID project's design, which is principally accomplished by the allocation of random 12-digit numbers that reveal nothing about an individual. In addition, UID has taken a number of oth...

Encryption as a service – an overview

In these alarming times of cyber-attacks, sensitive data protection, and regulatory requirements, encryption is one of the top priorities. The encryption approach protects data by making it unreadable to anyone who does not have access to the decryption/key information. There are numerous technologies in use today in IT for data encryption at rest. Every presentation on the topic covers the solution's key management, how it's a huge, complex issue, and how each product solves it better. This is all useful information for businesses, but when these encryption and key management technologies are deployed to the cloud, the situation becomes much more complicated. Encryption can help protect data in both the active management and storage phases. The objective of encryption is that no one can access data until it is decrypted, but for cloud service providers, this becomes a problem (CSPs). They also require access to the necessary decryption keys because they can't process encry...

Are you concerned about how much of your personal or business information is stored on the internet and could it be stolen or misused? You're not the only one who feels this way. The issue of online privacy is crucial. Identity theft is any deception, scam, or crime that results in the loss of personal information, such as usernames, passwords, banking information, credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, and health identification numbers, which is then used without your permission to commit fraud and other crimes. A data breach occurs when someone acquires unauthorized access to an organization's data. The most common types of information stolen in data breaches are email addresses, passwords, full names, Social Security numbers, and credit card numbers. Data breaches reached an all-time high of 1,862 in 2021, according to the Identity Theft Resource Center's (ITRC) 2021 Annual Data Breach Report, an increase of more than 68 percent over 2020.
