Providing a digital identity to all individuals is crucial to facilitate electronic authentication for delivery of online public services. The digital identity must be unique, lifelong, online and authenticable. The digital identity should be easily verifiable in an online and cost-effective way. Aadhaar provides such a digital identity that also serves as a proof of identity and address for individuals. If such a digital identity could be linked to mobile phones in a secure manner, it would make the task of online authentication much easier at the level of the individual. As the penetration of mobile phones is high, this digital identity will facilitate the delivery of online services more easily.

Ideas and suggestions are welcome on how mobile phones and digital identity could be linked so that mobile phones can be used as instruments for online electronic authentication of individuals’ identities. The suggestions may include technical architecture and solutions, policy guidelines, process improvements, implementation mechanisms, cost effectiveness, operational efficiency, etc. You can upload your ideas in doc or pdf format.

Aadhaar card should be a smart card with an inbuilt chip for storing information. card readers can be installed at all govt. offices where citizens visit for availing govt. services. To recover cost of the card, a small portion of the card can be used for advertisement where private companies can print adv. by paying a fee. (ideal for banks/mobile companies/FMCG)

Mobile phones have become personal electronic communication devices, connected to the largest communication networks in the world and largely carried by individuals at all times. Global telecommunications standards enforce a unique one-to-one relationship between each subscriber's mobile phone number and their physical mobile handset. This connection is secure and is difficult to compromise.

Global telecommunications standards enforce a unique one-to-one relationship between each subscriber's mobile phone number and their physical mobile handset. This connection is secure and is difficult to compromise. This concept of "one number, one phone" is what makes Mobile-as-Identity a unique and unmatched means to authenticate individuals.
