Hackers trying to breach UIDAI security will not only need 13-foot high ladders, but also the world’s fastest computer and over 13.772 billion years to successfully access Aadhaar data, if UIDAI CEO Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey is to be believed.
“Aadhaar data has been secured by a 2048-encryption key that will take a supercomputer more than the age of universe, or over 13 billion years, to crack” Ajay Bhushan Pandey, the chief of UIDAI

Did you know why they had to use random private agencies to collect all that sensitive, personal data? Because to do it through govt servants would take too long. So they got the Registrars who they did have some control over, to get an #Aadhaar themselves! Security worries gone!

It’s worth noting that such “registered operators” have previously been accused of selling Aadhaar data for as low as Rs. 500. A fact that Pandey carefully omitted.
