Aadhaar Authentication Application

The base application takes advantage of advanced biometric technologies - such as fingerprints, iris, and facial identification - to provide safe and contactless identity verification to the residents of India. India's Unique Identification Authority (UIDAI) enables uninterrupted authentication by integrating with infrastructure, to ensure high accuracy and reliability, using Aadhaar credentials. Through the use of face authentication, users can recognize their identity remotely without the requirement of physical documents, while fingerprints and iris scans provide additional biometrics for multitary verification. This system supports various government and private services, increasing efficiency, access and user privacy through encrypted and consent-based data sharing.
