Critical analysis of Aadhar dactylography-A case report and review of literature

Ever since its inception Aadhar biometric enrolment created a volley of controversies in India ranging from rights issues, data privacy, security, fears of exclusion etc. to name a few. Aadhar has gained sanctity in our public life in the recent past. In today's Indian scenario it would not be wrong to say that an individual without an Aadharcard has attained a civil death. Through this case report, we are limiting to the discussion of difficulties in recording fingerprints during enrolment, congenital absence of fingerprints and alteration of finger prints. This case report also emphasizes upon emerging and re-emerging situations where opinion is sought from forensic physicians. The technology failures, cryptography, privacy, security, network glitches etc. leading to failure of Aadhar authentication are not a part of this write-up.
