UIDAI deploys new security measures for robust fingerprints
In a statement, UIDAI announced the new security measures for fingerprint-based Aadhaar authentication, saying “it makes Aadhaar authentication transactions more robust and more secure”.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched a new security mechanism for Aadhaar-based fingerprint authentication and quick detection of spoofing attempts, an official statement said on Monday. An in-house developed artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) based security system is now using "a combination of both finger minutes and finger images" to verify the vitality of captured fingerprints.
In a statement, UIDAI announced the new security measures for fingerprint-based Aadhaar authentication, saying “it makes Aadhaar authentication transactions more robust and more secure”. “The new two-factor/level authentication adds add-on checks to verify the fingerprint’s authenticity (life) to reduce the chance of spoofing attempts,” the statement said.

This will strengthen the Aadhaar-enabled payment system and prevent malicious attempts by unscrupulous elements, thus benefiting the bottom of the pyramid. The statement said that the new security system of Aadhaar-based fingerprint authentication is now fully operational.
UIDAI made sustained efforts with the authentication user organizations to inform them (AUAs/Sub AUAs) about the benefits of the new system. AUA is an entity providing Aadhaar-enabled services to 12-digit ID holders using authentication with the help of an authentication service provider. Sub-AUAs are organizations that use Aadhaar authentication to enable their services through existing requesting entities.
