Biometric data and crucial insensitive data should be decentralized under one organization i.e. UIDAI and KYC (Know your Customer) norms of UIDAI should be replaced by Tokens. Whether linkage of Adhaar to PAN Cards Justified Recently the finance minister Mr. Arun Jaitley argued in parliament about the instances of same person using multiple PAN cards for filing Income Tax-Returns. The linkage of Adhaar to PAN card is still a proposal yet Government has traced the defect regarding multiple usages, this is the clear indication to fact that there exist multiple methods of catching these frauds even without Adhaar. This mindless and tendency of linkage is a huge failure as it had resulted in causing huge inconvenience to poor – old women are …show more content…
All subsidies and welfare schemes of government are delivered directly through Adhaar. Supreme Court in 2015 ruled out that UoI should widely declare that enrollment to Adhaar is not Mandatory but Voluntary. Person wishing to avail government welfare schemes and benefits may choose to be registered to Adhaar. Initially Adhaar Act prescribed use of data only for the purpose of availing PDS schemes, specifically comprising of distribution of Kerosene and LPG. Later MGNREGS, National Social Association Programme and Jana-dhana yojana were added and listed specifically under the ambit of project Adhaar. Supreme Court through its judgment has limited the area of accessibility of database safeguarded under Adhaar. Adhaar – a complete failure As subsidiary and other benefits schemes of Government were targeted to benefit the intended mass. Therefore, Government while declaring the boons of Adhaar keeps claiming that Adhaar in many forms had contributed to generation of savings among the intended beneficiaries. However, the claims of Government have proved false; one such illustration is as follows – Government initiated the linkage of Adhaar to LPGs, later it claimed that this linkage had proved fruitful as it has generated a huge amount of LPG savings ranging from 14,000 - 30,000 crore. However when proper analysis was recorded it was discovered that only 8% of such savings were affected because of Adhaar and rest were due to downfall in
It is important to note that the main applications of biometrics are utilized for preventing fraud and ensuring security. The use of biometrics has increased tremendously but so has social, ethical, privacy, practical and even political issues associated with it (Duquenoy, Jones & Blundell, 2008). Following is the detail regarding its ethical and privacy issue implications.
The thing with biometrics is that it works great only if the verifier can verify two things: Firstly, that the biometric to be used has come from the intended person at the time of verification, and Secondly, which the biometric should match with the master biometric entry in the file database. If the system can't do that, it can't work. Biometrics are good in uniquely identifying the people, butat the same time they are not secrets and cannot be trusted [1].
Biometrics are important to not only information systems, but to information security as a subject. Today, most information is kept secure via ID cards or secret information, such as a PIN, password, pattern, etc., the downside to this type of security is the lack of a failsafe (Ashok, Shivashankar and Mudiraj)! What would happen if an ID card was lost? Or a PIN, password or pattern was leaked to individuals who were not on a “need to know” basis”? This is where the importance of biometrics comes into play.
In preparing or signing a return, a member may trust the information furnished by the taxpayer or by third party. Nevertheless, tax preparers cannot ignore the information to be incorrect, incomplete or inconsistent. Further, tax preparer should certain the tax returns related information and consider any confidential limitation that imposed by any laws or rules. Even though there is no need for a member to exam the supporting data, the member is required to encourage the taxpayer to provide correct supporting data. Besides, a member should use a taxpayer’s returns for one or more prior years in preparing the current year tax return whenever
Ultimately all experts agreed that biometrics are superior to older methods of online identification. But experts question if this new technology is enhancing the customers experience. Experts debate these new features because they are more reliable than passwords but when hacked can give out more personal information. The social network for those in the IT industry Spiceworks says that 90% of companies will use biometrics by 2020.Companies like Microsoft and Facebook are already using this technology because it is a cheaper alternative than passwords. Passwords can get hacked, but are also easy to change, biometrics can be hacked, but users cannot change biometrics. Not only do hackers access your fingerprints, but they also have all of your online secured personal information. This advancement has proved to be beneficial for companies, but consumers are wary to give up this information. This is due to the fact the companies are selling this information to third parties without consent from the users. The European Union is addressing citizens' concerns mandating that companies give consent to customers. Hopefully other nations like the U.S. will adopt these laws to protect citizens. The article draws that biometrics can help companies get to really know their customers but customers no longer trust them because they have gone too
In biometric recognition there different kind of recognition that relates to biometric but some of the current uses in iris recognition is the national border controls which is the iris being an passport. Also their more current uses for the iris recognition is the forensic usage which is when tracing and finding a missing person or any individual that was missing personal files. There also other uses that their using and one of them is for iris recognition is using the internet security to control the access of the privileged information. Some of the current uses for face recognition is for crime fighting which is when the law enforcement agents are using to recognize many people based on their face. Also another uses of face recognition
It is very important to secure all your sensitive equipment and items, and maintain accountability. The reason simply is to keep very important high cost
Believe it or not, there was a time when passengers showed up an hour before their flights and walked directly to their assigned gates without taking off their shoes at a security screening station or throwing away their bottles of water. There was even a time when friends and family met passengers at the gate and watch their flights take off or land without having a ticket or identification…and that was only ten years ago. Air travel safety precautions changed dramatically after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that targeted passenger planes in the United States and killed well over 1,000 people. Precautions continue to evolve as new threats are detected and passengers are now concerned

The definition of a sensitive item is a piece of equipment or an item that is potentially harmful or hazardous or is of high monetary value and easily converted to unauthorized use or disposal. In the military it is extremely important to keep up meaning take charge of and know the location of the item at all times. Never should a sensitive item be left unsecured or unsupervised, or placed in the hands or someone not authorized to care for such sensitive items. A Sensitive item is an item such as a weapon and any attachments such as PEQ-15 and ACOG. Sensitive items are often valuable high cost items. Failure to keep up with such sensitive items can result in many different possibilities including but not limited to; requirement for the
We live in a world today, in which technology moves at a very rapid pace. Many of these technological advances can be used to make our everyday lives easier and safer. One of these new technologies is Biometrics. Biometrics is the process of measuring a person’s physical properties. This would include measuring things like fingerprints, retinas, odor, vein structure on the back of the hand and many other things. Biometrics is a very important topic because it would create better security precautions for certain places that need to be secure. Biometrics will make our society safer by only allowing authorized people out of secure facilities and by keeping the unauthorized people out. Throughout the rest of this
One of the most important ways that biometric technology is impacting security lies within the confines of computer information systems. The government, the military, and large corporations need to have complete assurance that the data and information stored on their networks and databases are only available to users who have been authorized to view such material.
Biometrics is used in many places and there is a bright future for them. Coca Cola has recently replaced time card system with hand scanning machines. Finger print scanners are being used in many states of the US. They have been used to trace social welfare fraud. An iris pattern identification system is being used in Cook County, Illinois to ensure that right people are released from jail. ATM machines have been installed with finger scanners to prevent theft and fraud in Indiana (Jain, 2005).
