‘Aadhaar information vulnerable at point of enrolment’

While the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will vouch for the privacy and security of Aadhaar information at its data centres, experts fear a breach might occur at the point of enrolment itself.

“Data centres are well secured from external intrusions, however, we cannot be sure about the enrolment centres. The information which is shared at the time of enrolment may get compromised before it reaches the data centre,” said Kamlesh Bajaj, CEO, Data Security Council of India (DSCI) in an exclusive interaction with IndianExpress.com

The procedure and devices used by enrolment agencies have been reported to be one of the major weaknessess of the Aadhaar project.
