India’s Universal ID program seeks to provide a unique identity to all 1.2 billion residents. With the challenge of covering a very large population, India is is a unique testing ground for biometric identification technology. Already, the Indian case offers some important lessons: – Using multiple biometrics helps maximize accuracy, inclusion, and security; – Supporting public- and private-sector applications creates incentives for use; – Competitive, standards-based procurement lowers costs; – Cardless design increases security and cuts costs but can be problematic if mobile networks are incomplete; – Establishing clear jurisdiction is essential; – Open technology is good, but proprietary systems and foreign providers may still be necessary.
