The Aadhaar Data Vault: Enhancing Security and Trust in India's Digital Ecosystem

Image
In India's rapidly evolving digital landscape, where Aadhaar has grown into more than just a 12-digit identification, the necessity for effective data protection measures has never been more essential. While Aadhaar has played an important role in reducing fraud and increasing financial inclusion, concerns about data leaks and identity theft have grown concurrently. In response to these issues, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) developed the concept of Aadhaar Vault, a digital fortress designed to protect citizens" Personally Identifiable Information (PII).  The journey of Aadhaar has been paradoxical, functioning as a barrier to fraud and a vulnerability threatening citizen privacy. The digital authentication environment currently heavily relies on Aadhaar, which is linked to different areas of an individual's life, including mobile phone numbers and bank accounts. Data breaches are unavoidable as the number of digital transactions grows. This highlight...
