Virtual Id

Aadhaar Card Services: Authentication can be performed using the virtual ID (VID) in a manner similar to using the Aadhaar number (UID).

Security researchers are able to highlight loopholes in virtual meetings through an automated tool that can bypass the measures and find 100 Zoom meeting IDs in an hour. Separately, Zoom has disabled a feature on its platform that would help meeting hosts see the LinkedIn profiles of individuals, without their knowledge.

UIDAI had asked all agencies to start accepting VID from their users from June 1 this year, but recently decided to extend deadline till for banks

An Aadhaar card holder using an Aadhaar VID will not be required to share their Aadhaar card number at the time of authentication.

The UIDAI, which issues Aadhaar card, had in January this year introduced Virtual ID or VID as an alternative means to Aadhaar number to verify an individual's identity.

The virtual ID feature aims at strengthening the privacy and security of Aadhaar data, given increasing concerns over collection of personal and demographic details of individuals.

The Aadhaar-issuing authority UIDAI today said it has made virtual ID or VID system operational with its authentication user agencies, which have migrated to VID and UID token. The Virtual ID is a 16-digit random number mapped with the Aadhaar number. The Unique Identification Authority of India has also classified its user agencies as "global" and...

Aadhaar linking: Alternative of virtual ID (VID) was devised to address the concerns of sceptics who raised privacy concerns

By using a Virtual ID or VID, an Aadhaar card holder will not be required to share his or her Aadhaar card number at the time of authentication.

The UIDAI has classified its online facilities into three categories - Aadhaar enrolment, Aadhaar update and other services. Most of these facilities work on a One-Time Passcode- or OTP-based method, wherein an SMS is sent to the user's mobile number registered with Aadhaar.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has announced face recognition as an additional means of Aadhaar authentication.

Virtual ID, the 16-digit temporary number, announced by UIDAI this week had been suggested way back in 2009-10 when its architects were still designing the system. But the Aadhaar authority, which has called Virtual ID a unique innovation to enhance privacy and security, decided against rolling it out at that time.

VID, a 16-digit random number that would be mapped to the 12-digit Aadhaar, will enable users to undergo Aadhaar authentication without having to furnish their 12-digit Unique Identity Number (UID).

Virtual ID, the 16-digit randomly-generated number that people can share instead of their Aadhaar number, is an extra layer of security to protect privacy of people and does not imply there were gaps in the existing security architecture, Ajay Bhushan Pandey, the chief executive officer of UIDAI that runs the Aadhaar programme, told NDTV.

UIDAI has now released the concept of a temporary, 16-digit Virtual ID (VID) that can be used by Aadhaar card holders for authentication purposes.
