Biometric Identification and Privacy law
Overview
Biometrics is taking over traditional identity practices
and is now commonly accepted as a proven way of identification and
authentication by nations and all its components. There are reports emerging that
biometrics practices are already been implemented on a national level for its national
identity applications. So, as nations begin applying biometric technology for
managing identity, the question arises as to what is at risk and who is at
risk.
The reason behind that is biometrics technology is also a
“very powerful enabler” of mass surveillance. And just like any other
technology and system, biometrics system also has its own limitations. Now when
any implementation of biometric technology, (like Biometric ID card project
Aadhaar Act implemented in India) links almost every part of citizen’s personal
life to a central nation / state database, it raises serious concerns about whether
there is adequate legal framework for protecting citizens’ privacy and security
rights. It is important to understand and evaluate:
* What are the risks of using biometrics for
national id?* How secured is the data that is being
collected?* Is the data infrastructure putting user privacy
at risk?* Are there robust laws to protect data of
citizens?
Time is now to discuss Biometric Identification and Privacy
Law!
