Face Recognition Allowed for Aadhaar Authentication

[New Delhi]Face Recognition Allowed for Aadhaar Authentication
The UIDAI today allowed face recognition as additional means of Aadhaar authentication to be used in combination with existing ways such as fingerprint or iris scan.
The facility is being allowed only in a “fusion mode” that is along with other existing means of authentication, and will be available by July 1, 2018,
As of now, two modes of biometric authentication, fingerprint authentication and iris authentication, are allowed under Aadhaar.
The new method will also be allowed “on need basis”.
