In India, the U 4500 Digital Persona U are one of the commonly used biometric devices for Aadhaar authentication. Since out on October 1, 2017, all biometric devices which are used to authenticate Aadhaar need to be registered with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). This is to simply help in making sure they meet a certain standard of security and reliability. Registered devices have these following advantage compared to public devices.
Device Identification: Each registered biometric device bears an identity. The unique ID is useful in traceability, and thus every device has the capacity to be traced. This is very important for analytical purposes and in fraud management, as it will build the trust needed that the biometric data used is legitimate and not tampered with.
Elimination of Use of Stored Biometrics: One of the most critical features of registered devices is that they would not rely on storage but that the biometric data is captured live, signed in the device using a provider key. The data is therefore secure at the point of capture and as such authentic. After capturing a biometric sample, the RD Service of the device provider encapsulates the data into an encrypted PID block. This PID block is transmitted back to the host application. This method keeps the intercepted biometric data safe and thus prevents misuse of the same.
Standardized RD Service: The RD Service is standard; the service is given by the manufacturers of the devices and the registered service. Besides, it is a certified service by UIDAI: this guarantees that the devices are consistent in operating. They exert the security controls up to the levels desired. Besides, it becomes easy with many applications since the developers will have the standard protocols of the RD Service. Importance of Registered Devices
Security: This improves security when using registered devices, as it will take and then save the data in an encrypted mode live, reducing the chances of data being stolen/misused.
Reliable traceability and management: A unique identifier for each device guarantees traceability and manageability in a reliable way, so that in any case, problems can be immediately pinpointed and fixed.
Compliance with UIDAI's regulations shall ensure devices using Aadhaar authentication are complying, thus maintaining the integrity of the Aadhaar system.
Most of the application areas demanding strict identity authentication have been using the Digital Persona U are U 4500 biometric devices. An interesting and important application is Jeevan Pramaan, which is nothing but a digital life certificate for pensioners. This system enables a pensioner to simply use biometric authentication to prove that they are alive, without the need of making a move to the office of the Pension Disbursing Agency.
If you are using a biometric device for the purpose of Aadhaar authentication, you have to register your device at UIDAI:
It's easy to register device at UIDAI. Open your browser and go to the Radium Box site. Select Register Device Online and click on it. Now, it will open a new page; there you have to some requisite information and device details. Now, let's move to the next requirement: your device should meet the stipulated standards and protocols.
Crossmatch's Digital Persona UareU 4500 is a registered biometric device and adequately qualifies to the requirement standards of Aadhaar authentication. Features such as a unique device identifier, live biometric data capture, and standard RD service render these devices secure and credible for use in matters of identity verification. It is mandatory for all registered devices to be declared to the Unique Identification Authority of India, along with the requirement of meeting its security and compliance standards. This not only protects the users' biometric data but also protects the integrity and reliability of the Aadhaar ecosystem. The use of registered devices will also ensure an enhanced secure and efficient process of Aadhaar authentication and other biometric authentication needs.
The Digital Persona 4500 is built with a metal case to stop movement. To use the device place your finger on the reader window. The system promptly captures and encrypts the print scan before transmitting the print scan to the Digital Persona Finger Jet™ bio engine for verification.
The cost of a Digital Persona 4500 fingerprint reader may vary, it ranges between ₹7,000–₹10,999 in the market. You can check the updated Price at RadiumBox.
The fingerprint technology may be relatively higher in some places, but RadiumBox sells at the price. A basic USB fingerprint scanner for computers sells in the range of ₹7,000–₹10,999, depending on the model and built-in features.
