In a bid to secure the privacy of Aadhaar users, Identity Devices Sweden AB (Identity Devices) has introduced an innovative new Biometric Privacy Platform™.
Biometric Privacy Platform™ (BPP) ensures authentication hardware and software for the Aadhaar ecosystem, preserving convenience while leveling-up the personal privacy and data security.
More than 90 percent Indians have linked their Aadhaar with most of the governmental and non-governmental services pertaining to cooking gas subsidy, banking, passports, and many more.
The newly launched Biometric Privacy Platform™ adds better privacy on top of authentication modes of Aadhaar, both online and offline.
“Identity Devices is committed to the principle that individuals should have power over their personal data, what and when to share it, and how it is used. This principle can have no better validation than when it is applied to the Aadhaar user. We are delighted to be able to offer to the Indian market an instrument which addresses the very valid concerns of people regarding their sensitive personal data. The solutions offered by Identity Devices will make it easier than ever before for Digital Identity, IoT and FinTech device makers to add biometric features that allow them to connect more securely to popular authentication and identity ecosystems,” said David Burnett, CEO and Founder, Identity Devices.
“There is enormous demand for fingerprint and iris authentication in India now that systems like Aadhaar have demonstrated the ease-of-use, viability and economic benefits of multi-modal biometric authentication at large scale. Our pre-certified and easy-to-integrate products directly address the needs of a wide range of device makers to quickly innovate and differentiate their products with biometric experiences and ecosystem integration,” said Mukesh Singh, VP, Sales and Marketing, Identity Devices, India.
