The Indian Department of Information Technology introduced the idea of a universal electronic ID as part of an endeavour to give distinctive identification for each citizen across the nation. The goal of Aadhaar Authentication is to offer a digital, online identification platform so that the identity of people with Aadhaar numbers may be instantaneously verified whenever and wherever they choose. Individual information must be kept secure because Aadhar numbers are linked to bank accounts, shares, mutual funds, and even mobile phones. Individual protection and information security are incorporated into the design of the UID project. The UIDAI act prevents the collection of sensitive personal data such as religion, caste, community, class, ethnicity, income, and health. Individual profiling is thus not possible using the UID system because the data collected is constrained to that required for identification and identity clarification. This paper focuses on UIDAI authentication and its security measures and the challenges faced.
