The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has rolled out a new security mechanism for Aadhaar-based fingerprint authentication and faster detection of spoofing attempts, an official statement said on Monday. The artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) based security mechanism which has been developed in-house is now using a “combination of both finger minutia and finger image” to check the liveness of the fingerprint captured.
The new two-factor/layer authentication is adding add-on checks to validate the genuineness (liveness) of the fingerprint so as to further cut down the chances of spoofing attempts.
