Open Letter to the Finance Committee: Finance and Security
by Prasad Krishna — published Feb 10, 2011 — last modified Feb 17, 2011 11:57 AM — filed under:
This note explores the three connections between finance and security and demonstrates the cost implications of operating a centrally designed identity management system as proposed by the UID. In doing so, it shows how the monitoring, storing, and securing of transactional data in a centralized database fall short of meeting the project's objectives of authentication, and thus is an additional cost. Further, it is argued that the blanket monitoring of the transaction database is not an effective method of detecting fraud, and is an expensive component of the project.

Open Letter to the Finance Committee: UID and Transactions
by Prasad Krishna — published Feb 17, 2011 — last modified Feb 24, 2011 01:35 PM — filed under:
Since official documentation from the UIDAI is very limited, we assume that data pertaining to transactions would comprise of the Aadhaar number, identifier of the authenticating device, date-time stamp, and approval/rejection/error code. Recording and maintaining of data pertaining to transactions is very important because it increases transparency and accountability through an audit trail. However, storage of such sensitive data creates many privacy risks, because more often than not metadata gives you as much intelligence as raw data.
