This strategic collaboration marks a significant step forward in leveraging data-driven innovations to safeguard India’s flagship biometric identity system.

A Collaborative Endeavor to Fortify Aadhaar

Signed on Tuesday, the umbrella agreement brings together UIDAI’s operational expertise and ISI’s deep statistical and data science proficiency. The partnership will focus on a wide array of priority areas including enhancing biometric liveness detection tools to prevent fraud, refining biometric matching algorithms for higher accuracy, and detecting anomalies in enrolment and update processes.
