Unique Identification System is a system in which every citizen of a country will have a unique 16 digit number Unique Identification Number which would not just help the government track down individuals, but would make life far easier for citizens as they would not have to submit multiple documents each time they want to avail a new service—public private, government., regulatory authority or law-enforcement agency. This system will contain details like the name, sex, address, marital status, photo, identification mark and face biometrics. The unique identification number will be based on a sophisticated application called SCOSTA, a secured electronic device that’s used for keeping data & other info in a way that only authorized persons can view it. The security of the UID database system will be handled by the Biometric technology. The system would provide a database of residents containing very simple data in biometric. The UID system’s database is built by collecting data from different existing databases distributed all over the country, combining and storing it in one centralized UID system database helping to develop a card which can be centrally issued and used everywhere. This document tells us about the benefits and capabilities that will be provided to the identification system. It also states the various requirements, specifications, advantages and constraints that the system should abide by. UID system helps in managing a single number for every person needs in his/her life span i.e. the number is used as Driving license number, Voter ID card number, registration number in any organization, bank account number, personal or professional details. Security mechanism in UID one wonders - if there is no physical Identity card or electronic smart card, then how will UID validate its citizens. For implementing this, two different processes have to followed, the first one being the recording process and the second one - the authentication process. The UID is fundamentally prepared to identify citizens so that better security can be provided by identifying illegal immigrants and terrorists. The role the system envisions is to issue a unique identification number (UID) that can be verified and authenticated in an online, cost-effective manner, and that is robust enough to eliminate duplicate and fake identities.
