Note: At this step an AUA is also expected to have an arrangement in place with an UIDAI approved ASA
to access UIDAI authentication services. An arrangement with an ASA is required by an AUA to get
access to UIDAI Authentication database (CIDR). An AUA may enter into an agreement with an ASA as
deemed appropriate by the two parties. To provide support on the agreement, UIDAI has published
guidelines for AUA-ASA agreement.
Assessment of Support Required for Readiness
Based on interaction during the previous steps of the process and inputs from an AUA, UIDAI
engagement team assesses the level of support to be provided for go live readiness. In majority of the
cases the assessment for the level of support required by an AUA is accomplished in collaboration with
an ASA. An ASA plays a vital role in On-boarding and readiness of an AUA as the connectivity between
AUA and ASA is a pre-requisite for an AUA to access Aadhaar authentication services.
Assist in Pre-production Integration and Execution in Collaboration with an Approved ASA
UIDAI authentication support team in consultation with an ASA provides access to pre-production
environment and enables the AUA to establish end to end connectivity through an ASA server to carry out
authentication services testing.
UIDAI Authentication support team responds to pre-production access request received from ASA by
sharing the AUA code and license key to enable AUA to conduct end to end testing. At this stage an AUA
is also linked with an approved ASA in the UIDAI backend system which enables the ASA and UIDAI to
process authentication transactions transmitted by an AUA.
Conducts End to End Testing with an Approved ASA, Audit and Submits Request for Go Live
AUA engages the respective ASA and conducts end to end testing on UIDAI pre-production environment.

9 Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the expected benefits of Aadhaar authentication? How to use Aadhaar
authentication as part of service delivery?
Some of the expected benefits of Aadhaar authentication are:





Establishing identity for purposes such as adding new beneficiaries, confirming genuine
beneficiary before service delivery, attendance management, financial transactions etc.
Enabling demand-driven, portable service delivery by providing anywhere anytime real-time
authentication
Access to relevant MIS and empowerment of beneficiary
Improving efficiency & transparency in service delivery by enabling tracking of end-to-end service
delivery process, improving accountability and vigilance etc.
Access control to restricted areas such as airports, hotels, high security buildings etc.
Aadhaar authentication may be used at various points in service delivery when there is a need to
authenticate / identify / audit / hold accountable beneficiaries, officials or other members of service
delivery / monitoring / audit chain. Illustrative details on how Aadhaar authentication may be integrated in
various service delivery programs such as PDS, NREGA, JSY, SSA etc are available in various working
papers and presentations developed by UIDAI.
2. How can Aadhaar authentication be used for cleaning up database(s)?
Aadhaar fundamentally provide two values - uniqueness and online authentication. Uniqueness attribute
can be used to eliminate ghosts & duplicates, if any, from databases. Online authentication for
demographic data such as name, address, age / DOB, mobile number and email address can be used for
keeping database up to date and clean.
3. What all authentication factors is UIDAI supporting?
Besides demographic data verification, UIDAI offers following factors of authentication for cases where it
is required to prove “who you say you are”:


Who you are (inherence factor) – biometrics
What you have (possession of mobile) – OTP
4. Is it necessary for an agency seeking to utilize Aadhaar authentication for its service delivery
to have direct agreement with UIDAI?
Aadhaar authentication ecosystem has provision wherein any agency seeking to use Aadhaar
authentication of its customers/associates etc for service delivery can engage with an existing AUA. Such
agencies which enter into agreements with AUA are defined as Sub-AUA. Any agency wanting to become
an AUA needs to have an agreement with UIDAI directly.
5. Will UIDAI provide the client application required for doing authentication?
UIDAI provides API documents and reference implementations. AUAs need to develop client application
based on their requirements related to service delivery, authentication interface, probable devices etc.
6. Would UIDAI be certifying devices? If yes, how?
Certification is required only for the sensor and extractor combinations required for biometric
Auth Portal User Manual
Version 1.0
60
authentication. Overall devices will not be certified. The certification will be done by a STQC. The
certification process would be similar to that of enrolment biometric devices. The details are on
http://www.stqc.gov.in/.
7. Does each device need to be registered with UIDAI / CIDR?
As part of public devices and currently published authentication specification, registering each device is
not required. In the future, as specifications change, this may be required. UIDAI will publish updated
specifications and processes.
8. What are the security considerations for network connectivity?
As a best practice, it is recommended that AUAs implement network level security measures such as
intrusion prevention, virus/malware checks, etc. In addition, it is strongly recommended that network
channel between devices to AUA server and then AUA server to ASA server be a secure channel (such
as HTTPS, VPN, etc).
9. How does UIDAI server validate digital signature?
Digital signature validation logic at a high level is as follows:

Validate AUA signature by verifying the name in certificate against AUA name.
If not, if AUA has allowed ASA to sign, validate signature against ASA name.
10. What is the data retention policy proposed by UIDAI for the Meta data stored for audit
purpose?
It is required that AUAs keep the metadata of the transactions for audit trail and troubleshooting. The
retention policy for the audit trail data needs to be determined by the AUA based on their industry norms,
applicable laws and regulations as well as the needs of their applications. As a best practice, it is
recommended to keep it for a minimum of 3 months.
11. Is there a sample code provided by UIDAI to call and test the Authentication service?
Yes, a fully working Java code is provided to demonstrate complete functionality. In addition, developer
community has contributed sample code in other languages. See developer portal for details on sample
code, usage guidelines, and test data.

Auth Portal User Manual
ASA is an agency that has established secure leased line connectivity to the
Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) to transmit authentication request
on behalf of Authentication User Agency (AUAs) and receive response back
from CIDR.
Aadhaar “authentication” means the process wherein Aadhaar Number,
along with other attributes, including biometrics, are submitted to the Central
Identities Data Repository (CIDR) for its verification on the basis of
information or data or documents available with it. UIDAI will provide an
online service to support this process. Aadhaar authentication service only
responds with a “yes/no” and no personal identity information is returned as
part of the response.
AUA is an agency that seeks to use Aadhaar Authentication by connecting to
the CIDR through an ASA. The AUA is the principal entity that drives
authentication requests to enable their services. Based on the result of the
authentication, the AUA determines whether or not to provide Aadhaarholders access to their services. Examples include Government
Departments, Banks, and other public or private organizations.
Terminal devices are devices employed by AUAs (both government and nongovernment) to provide services to the residents. Examples include MicroATM devices, POS devices, PDS terminals, and MGNREGA terminals.
These devices will host the applications of the AUA and have biometric
capture devices to capture biometrics of residents for authentication
purposes. Any additional features of these terminal devices would depend on
specific needs of services offered by AUAs.
Aadhaar authentication will support authentication using multiple factors.
These factors include demographic data, biometric data, OTP, or
combinations thereof. Adding multiple factors may increase the strength of
authentication depending on the factors. Applications using Aadhaar
authentication need to choose appropriate authentication factors based on
the application needs.
