A Crypto-Blocking Approach for the Security Paradigm for Aadhar Towards Privacy Preservation on Cloud Infrastructure

In the world various methods are being adopted to create a systematic identification for their citizens. In year 2009, UIDAI a government body of India initiated a 12-digit number called Aadhar number, which is generated out of biometric and demographic fusion of an individual and their identity. In order to ensure a highest level of data protection as well as privacy preservation of the Aadhar card propagation through a network, it requires an efficient model of security that becomes synchronous with the cloud infrastructure. This paper initially investigates the existing approaches and their limitations towards the Aadhar card security proposes a security model namely ECrypto-AaDhaar based on the cryptography approach synchronous to the cloud architecture. The privacy preservation of the AAdhar card associative demographic and biometric information is performed considering a statistical crypto-blocking operation prior propagating it through the network in the context of cloud infrastructure. The study later also presented an experimental analysis to demonstrate the performance of ECrypto-AaDhaar technique from a time complexity perspective.
