.We have advised that from June 1, they should get devices on the new specifications and that the existing devices should be upgraded to the new norms," Ajay Bhushan Pandey, CEO of UIDAI told PTI.Pandey, however, emphasised that only those devices that wish to use Aadhaar authentication, would have to meet the new standards. Only such &China Round Perfume tube Suppliers39;registered devices' that incorporate the new specifications would be allowed to perform Aadhaar authentication. So, if the device itself can be encrypted it will be harder to break into the system," he said.The move is aimed at adding another security layer to the hardware at a time when such devices are all set to take the centre stage in biometric-based digital payments. In this period, Aadhaar has seen its numbers swell both in terms of enrolment and authentication. "We have recently come out with new specifications and asked manufacturers and vendors to go for STQC certification as per the new standards. "Unless they see demand, no manufacturer will manufacture as per your specification. While more than 112 crore Aadhaar have been generated in the country, the Aadhaar authentications have crossed 500 crore, and 100 crore e-KYC have been done on the platform.Simplifying this, he said that while two locks exist currently - one at the level of agency and another at UIDAI - the new system will place a third lock on the biometric device itself.The Aadhaar daily authentications now stand at almost 2 crore against 10 lakh about 1.

They know when they make specially designed biometric fingerprint scanner for Aadhaar and put another lock as per UIDAI's requirement, it will sell in the market. We felt that while the system is secure, we want to further improve the security by building one more layer.He said that UIDAI has been iscourse360 DegreeEditors' PicksJust InPlay Games Business In Other News19 Mar 2017Another security layer to be added to Aadhar card Business, In Other News Another security layer to be added to Aadhar card PTI Published: Mar 19, 2017, 5:39 pm IST Updated: Mar 19, 2017, 5:39 pm IST Devices using Aadhaar authentication will have to adhere to its new encryption standards by UIDAI.5 years for implementation of the new specifications.
