NEW DELHI: The Unique Identification Authority of India ( UIDAI ) on Tuesday dismissed a news report appearing in social and online media about Aadhaar Enrolment Software being allegedly hacked as completely incorrect and irresponsible.The UIDAI said the claims lack substance and are baseless.The authority claimed that no operator can make or update Aadhaar unless a resident himself or herself give their biometric details."No operator can make or update Aadhaar unless a resident himself give his biometric. Any enrolment or update request is processed only after biometrics of the operator is authenticated and resident’s biometrics is de-duplicated at the backend of UIDAI system," said the UIDAI.The clarification from the UIDAI came amid reports of alleged breach of the Aadhaar database. According to the reports, the Aadhaar database, which contains the biometrics and personal information of over one billion Indians, had been compromised by a software patch which disables critical security features.The UIDAI issued a statement saying that “certain vested interests are deliberately trying to create confusion in the minds of people which is completely unwarranted”.The Aadhaar governing body said that it has taken all necessary measures spanning from providing standardised software that encrypts data before saving to any disk, protecting data using tamper proofing, identifying every one of the operators in "every" enrolment, identifying every one of the thousands of machines using a unique machine registration process, which ensures every encrypted packet is tracked.The authority further said that it keeps adding new security features in its system as required from time-to-time to thwart new security threats by unscrupulous elements.
