Move Over China. @NCBN with his IT Advisor Satya narayana, has built India's first Real Time Governance system (aka) Surveillance State using #Aadhaar. CC @virsanghvi

A perfectly ordered Society can only result from Perfect Surveillance System

What is that "VID" thing again @matthan Sir? Can you explain again?

You can't use a law, to prevent what technology can build, particularly by a state that ignores "Rule of Law" in every stage of the project.

Got it?
@NandanNilekani makes the argument that UIDAI does not have data, which apart from being false (RASF, ePass are examples), also sidesteps that #Aadhaar > UIDAI. That one single number, cross seeded across multiple databases as AP has done, is how Surveillance State is built.
Just three more additions to make it perfect.

1. Facial Authentication (aka) Identification.
2. Electoral Voter ID linking.
3. Crime/Civil Database Merger.

And we now have all the ingredients of an Aadhaaritarian government.

AP is the test lab. Others will follow.

FIR Series #2: The first report in 2017, which blew open the ECMP hack.
1. Authorized operator login/passcodes hacked.
2. Their biometrics were cloned.
3. ECMP was compromised.
4. All (1),(2),(3) was sold as a package for 5000 rupees.

The most interesting part are the quotes from @UIDAI official that "It has jeopardized the project. So they knew". And the deactivation of 81L identities for various reasons, mean, the deduplication engine was defeated as early as 2017. @HuffPost report was on ECMP Only.
So this is why the @UIDAI's denials don't wash. What @HuffPost did was to just confirm the extent of the ECMP hack. Other details were confirmed by the UP STF on their own. FIR of UP STF is here.

How successful is the hack?

OK. @HuffPostIndia has done more code analysis done by an Israeli Security researcher, that verifies the extent of hack. The code level changes are close to 26, whereas the ones I found was about 20 and the list matches.

Here is a public challenge to the @UIDAI and it's @ceo_uidai. Do you really want me to put out the source code of the patch and your original ECMP client, in the public domain, so that every JAVA developer in this country can verify if the hack is real by themselves?
I mean, researchers work thanklessly to get issues fixed, and follow all ethical disclosure norms so that most of the sensitive things are not put out and only the bare minimum essentials are given to the media. But this constant "vested interests" and "baseless" thing won't do.

As we eagerly await the SC judgement on #Aadhaar, a short thread about the "Crisis management cell" in @UIDAI and how it operates.

1. It knows that the systems that are required to make Aadhaar work have failed and are continuously failing.
2. Everyday the data stares at it.
3. It can't however even attempt to fix these failings because of the implications. For instance, why is the enrollment software still not fixed? Because fixing means pausing enrollments and that is catastrophic admission of defeat.
4. Same with biometric quality captures.
5. Same with missing documents, Same with Biometric mixups, Same with seeding screw-ups aka UP PDS Scam, Gujarat PDS Biometric scam.
6. The starvation deaths, the Airtel Payment bank scam, the Parallel Database scam and so on. The list is endless.

There is a video interview of a dealer doing rounds @rohanduaTOI. I think you have seen it. But let me explain the modus operandi. May be it will help others to understand it.

Our first Q:
1. How does Aadhaar authentication in PDS work?
A PDS DB is a (Ration Card, Aadhaar number, Ration Eligibility). So when you give your ration card and ask for your rations, the PDS System, sends (Aadhaar, Fingerprint) to @UIDAI. If it says Yes, you get ration. @UIDAI has no control on the PDS DB. It is with PDS department.
2. So what is the scam?

As per the article and Video, food inspectors hired people, who would change the mapping (Ration Card, Aadhaar number) in the PDS DB and route rations via biometric authentication of the "new Aadhaar number". Then they will change it back to old #.

Time to do a @ZetaIndia thread, because it is a text book case of not getting caught out in the public domain. Let us begin.

1. First the @RBI notifications. It is true that they had put a Master KYC document that mandated Aadhaar.
Link: rbi.org.in/ScriptS/BS_Vie…
2. There is a glorious S-15 regarding Identity information mandating Aadhaar biometric OTP, but however a subsequent Gazette notification kept it at abeyance.

Link: egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/…

(Our context is still existing accounts)
3. So RBI put out a circular and kept that in abeyance because SC said so. Now we come back to PPIs. Now @Logic says, they are governed by different set of regulations, but are still governed by PMLA. Since PMLA is kept on abeyance, we need to look at PPI regulations.

So @HuffPostIndia thinks that the SC could halt the rollout of Aadhaar, but that is only half accurate. I will explain why.

Link: huffingtonpost.in/entry/india-aa…
1. Any court in India, has no real power. The real power lies with the executive/state. A court order only works if the executive pushes it with the power of the state. Sure there is contempt proceedings. But that also depends on the court and the executive.
2. Courts only issue contempt, if they know that it will make the executive respond. But what if they know, it will be ignored? They keep quiet. That is pretty much what happened on #Aadhaar.

3. So why do executive/state can ignore the court?
