Abstract
Newer protocols for authentication using Aadhaar have been introduced to enhance privacy and security. In this article, we analyze the security and privacy of these new models. We consider the original Aadhaar model [4], the newer VID Aadhaar model [1] introduced by UIDAI, our own CP-UID model [11] and compare them with respect to privacy and scalability. We also introduce and discuss a newer hybrid model based on the VID model that has enhanced privacy. We also present an analysis of the biometric locking feature of Aadhaar.
