Watchdog slams some rather poor government decisions

India’s Comptroller and Auditor General has published a performance audit of the nation’s Unique Identification Authority and found big IT problems.

Some IT projects had hallmarks of some terrible tech from Indian services giant HCL and to HP and others due to poor government decisions.

The Authority (UADAI) oversees “Aadhaar” – a twelve-digit ID issued as a national identity number. Aadhaar is essential to access government services but can also be used by third parties – banks and mobile carriers use it to verify the identity of applicants for new accounts.

UADAI arranges for collection of the biometrics needed to create an Aadhaar - ten fingerprints, two iris scans, and a facial photograph – through enrollment agencies and registrars and provides authentication-as-a-service using Aadhaar numbers.
