The UIDAI could be working on bolstering Aadhaar security by implementing a ‘dummy number’ protocol: Report

Firstpost  

UIDAI will be the only authority that will have access to your dummy number and the associated real Aadhaar number. UIDAI, the Unique Identification Authority of India, is reportedly trying to work on increasing the security of Aadhaar amidst a number of data privacy concerns and claims. One of the ways that UIDAI is working on is the use of dummy numbers that would improve and add another layer of security to all the Aadhaar users. According to a few details pointed out in the report, the use of dummy numbers would require a framework where the users will share dummy numbers instead of their real Aadhaar numbers.
