在印度的一个有争议的生物识别项目,这可能要求人们出示生物识别ID来收集政府补贴,已收到来自全国各地的最高法院显著挫折。
法院在本周的临时命令,人们可以不要求具有争议的Aadhaar识别,收集国家补贴裁定,即使印度的唯一标识管理局(UIDAI),管理该项目的政府机构,一直努力推动在Aadhaar数为各种服务,包括银行身份证明。
该UIDAI曾表示,该计划是自愿的,但一些国家和机构试图识别链接到方案的实施,如用于炊事用气以为利,甚至中间和更丰富的类现金补贴。
“我签署了Aadhaar只能确保我继续以合理的价格来获得一个气瓶,说:”在班加罗尔的主管谁曾排队几个月前为Aadhaar数。马哈拉施特拉的状态,例如,目的是在全国第一状态到铺开Aadhaar联补贴转移到LPG(液化石油气)消费者横跨在状态全部区。
待终审裁定,法院裁定,“......没有人应该受苦没有得到事实的Adhaar卡inspite有些管理局已发出通知,强令......”
UIDAI主席南丹•尼勒卡尼没有马上同意讨论法院的命令。
该项目Aadhaar是行政命令的结果,而不是由印度议会通过了一项法律支持,因此其合法性可能有问题,帕文·达格尔,一个网络法律专家说,谁印度最高法院之前的做法。该项目可能是在该国的信息技术法的违反和规则,涵盖采集,处理和敏感个人数据的处理,他补充说。
Aadhaar,虽然说是自愿的,也可能是违反了有关生命权和隐私权的印度宪法的基本权利,为正在创建一种看法认为,ID将需要补贴和福利,Duggal补充。
政府应该考虑让议会对数据收集的也是一个强大的隐私法,以防止Aadhaar相关的数据,并使用Aadhaar多个数据库的整理滥用通过了一项授权法,因为对基本权利所涉及的隐私问题及其影响,说Pranesh普拉卡什,政策主管在班加罗尔的中心互联网与社会。
生物项目,收集10 fingerprints, iris scan and other information such as name, date of birth and address, has been criticized by a number of privacy groups who worry that the data could at some point be misused by the government. There is also a risk that such large databases could be hacked, putting at risk information of people. It is not clear what are the measures taken by UIDAI to protect the authenticity and correctness of the biometric information, and prevent access by foreign powers, Duggal said.
现在的Aadhaar数允许不同的机构,包括私人机构之间收集和交换数据,这可能是营销人员有用的,例如,普拉卡什说。此前,这是不切合实际的机构将难以确保信息是关于同一个人,他补充说。
最高法院还裁定,非法移民应该不是Aadhaar程序,这是为了便于给印度公民资助服务下注册。该Aadhaar,这不收集公民身份信息,很可能是非法移民被滥用,活动人士说。
One of the many challenges facing the Aadhaar program is that village-level politicians and influence peddlers cook up data to enroll under subsidy schemes people who are not eligible for benefits, or people who are nonexistent. The traditional paper ration card scheme and voter rolls are usually stuffed with nonexistent people or people who do not typically qualify for benefits.
Aadhaar was expected to remove these discrepancies by more accurate collection of data on people who enrolled under the scheme. But a number of users have complained that the Aadhaar cards they have received have errors in their names, addresses and other details. One newspaper reported that an Aadhaar applicant received a card that had the face of a dog in place of his photograph.
UIDAI aims to provide 600 million Aadhaar numbers to residents by 2014.
