UIDAI Aadhar Enrollment with P2P Blockchain Technologies

Abstract

Blockchain technologies are becoming more popular in securing the sensitive data such as government holding citizens’ s wealth, health and personal information. A blockchain is a shared encrypted data of records, consisting of a ledger of transactions. As the data stored in blockchain is tamper proof, it is proposed to implement new Aadhar enrolments with P2P Blockchains and migrate the existing centralized Aadhar personnel’s personal data from the conventional RDBMS / Big data system repositories to distributed ledger technologies by creating private blockchains. In this paper, we will discuss how to provide security for Aadhar card enrolment data using blockchain architectures. A blockchain-based Aadhaar would help UIDAI in truly complying with the data protection and privacy stipulations outlined in the Right to Privacy Act judgment
