AAdhar based smartcard system for security management in South Asia

Recently biometrics is merged into digitization technology to improve the credibility of the conventional watermarking techniques. The access control and authenticity verification have been addressed by digital watermarking biometric authentication systems. By embedding biometrics in the host, we can formulate a reliable individual identification system as the biometrics possesses. Hence, the conflicts and problems related to the intellectual property rights protection can be potentially prevented. Consequently, it has been decided by governmental institutions in Europe and the U.S. to include digital biometric data in future ID documents. In India, biometric based UID scheme, AAdhar is started with the goal of issuing a unique identification number to all the Indian citizens. This AAdhar number can be used in executing all the money transactions related activities including all types of purchases, sales, money transfer, hotel bills, hospital expenses and air tickets etc. Therefore, the AAdhar based smartcard system will help the South Asian countries in coming out of corruptions and improving their economies.
