Aadhaar eKYC at ARPANA Portal

What Is Aadhaar Authentication?

Aadhaar Authentication is the process by which the Aadhaar number along with the demographic information or biometric information of an Aadhaar number holder is submitted to the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) for verification. The repository verifies the correctness, or the lack of it, on the basis of the information available with it.

Overview

The Aadhaar number or its authentication does not, by itself, confer any right of citizenship or domicile in respect of an Aadhaar number holder. Several requesting entities or service providers require individuals to submit their identity proofs that help in providing consumer services, subsidies or benefits. While collecting such identity proofs, these service providers face problems in checking the correctness of identity documents submitted by individuals. The purpose of Aadhaar Authentication is to provide a digital, online identity platform so that the identity of Aadhaar number holders can be validated instantly anytime, anywhere. UIDAI offers Aadhaar based authentication as a service that can be used by requesting entities (government, public and private entities or agencies). This service from UIDAI can be used by the requesting entities to authenticate the identity of their customers, employees or other associates before providing them access to their consumer services, subsidies, benefits, business functions or premises.

Modes of Authentication

Authentication may be carried out through the following modes.

• Demographic authentication: The Aadhaar number and demographic information of the Aadhaar number holder is matched with the demographic information of the Aadhaar number holder in the CIDR.
• One time pin based authentication: A One Time Pin (OTP), with limited time validity, is sent to the mobile number or e-mail address of the Aadhaar number holder registered with the Authority, or generated by other suitable means. The Aadhaar number holder provides this OTP along with the Aadhaar number during authentication and it is matched with the OTP generated by the Authority.
• Biometric based authentication: The Aadhaar number and biometric information submitted by an Aadhaar number holder are matched with the biometric information of the said Aadhaar number holder stored in the CIDR. This may be fingerprint based or iris based authentication or other biometric modes based on biometric information stored in the CIDR.
• Multi factor authentication: A combination of two or more of the above modes may be used for authentication.

A requesting entity may choose suitable modes of authentication for a particular service or business function as per its requirement, including multiple factors of authentication for better security. It is clear that eKYC authentication is only carried out using OTP or biometric authentication.
