UIDAI Launches Bug Bounty Programme to Further Strengthen Aadhaar Security
20 Experienced Security Researchers and Ethical Hackers Selected to take part in the Initiative
New Delhi 11 March ( PDL ) : The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has launched its first structured Bug Bounty Programme to further strengthen the security of the Aadhaar system. The programme allows cybersecurity experts to look for possible weaknesses in some of UIDAI’s key digital platforms. If they find genuine security gaps and report them responsibly, they will receive rewards based on the seriousness of the issue.
A panel of 20 experienced security researchers and ethical hackers has been selected to take part in the initiative. They will examine UIDAI digital assets such as UIDAI official website, myAadhaar portal and the Secure QR Code application. The researchers will check these systems for vulnerabilities that fall into categories such as Critical, High, Medium, and Low risk. Depending on the severity of the issue discovered, they will receive appropriate rewards. UIDAI is running the program in partnership with M/s ComOlho IT Private Limited, a cybersecurity solution provider.
UIDAI believes information security is critical in today’s digital world, and UIDAI is continuously engaged in improving its digital assets keeping people’s interest in mind. The authority already uses several layers of protection, including regular security audits, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and continuous monitoring. The new Bug Bounty Programme adds another layer of protection by inviting independent experts to help identify any hidden risks. The new initiative is another example of how UIDAI continuously strives to further strengthen and ensure that its platforms remain secure for residents and stakeholders. Such programs are widely used around the world by major technology platforms to make digital systems safer and more future ready.
