Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) are now essential for tax filing, e-tenders, company registrations, and document signing. And in 2025, Aadhaar-based verification is still one of the fastest and most convenient methods for individuals to apply for a DSC online.
But with rising concerns around data privacy and identity theft, many users ask:
“Is Aadhaar-based DSC verification really safe?”
Let’s clear the confusion and explain why you can trust the process — and how platforms like EVERSIGN ensure your privacy is respected every step of the way.
✅ How Aadhaar-Based DSC Verification Works
There are two common Aadhaar-based methods used in DSC issuance:
1. FaceRD Authentication (Face Recognition + OTP)
This is the most widely used method in India. Here’s how it works:
-
Applicant gives Aadhaar number with consent.
-
FaceRD app matches live photo with Aadhaar database.
-
OTP is sent to the registered mobile for final verification.
✅ No biometric or fingerprint sharing is involved.
2. Aadhaar XML File Upload
-
You download a digitally signed XML file from the UIDAI website.
-
This file contains your basic details and is valid for 3 days.
-
It’s used for verification by the Certifying Authority.
🛡 Both methods are fully compliant with UIDAI norms and CCA (Controller of Certifying Authorities) regulations.
⚠️ Common Privacy Concerns About Aadhaar-Based DSCs
It’s natural to be cautious — your Aadhaar is sensitive information. Here are the most common fears people have:
-
Will my Aadhaar number be misused?
-
Is my face data being stored somewhere?
-
Can DSC providers track my personal activity?
These concerns often arise from misinformation or lack of transparency in some platforms.
🔒 What Makes Aadhaar-Based Verification Secure?
When done through a licensed and compliant Registration Authority (RA) like EVERSIGN, the process includes:
✅ 1. Consent-Based Authentication Only
Your Aadhaar number and details are only accessed with your explicit consent.
✅ 2. No Biometric Storage
Platforms like EVERSIGN do not store any biometric data. FaceRD does a live match via UIDAI’s gateway — no image or video is retained.
✅ 3. Encryption and Data Protection
All communication between the user and the CA (Certifying Authority) is encrypted. Data is not accessible to unauthorized third parties.
✅ 4. Regulated by CCA and UIDAI
Every step is governed by strict rules laid down under the Information Technology Act, 2000, and enforced by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA).
