You aren't thinking maliciously enough.
Please, please, pleaaaaaaaaaase play devil's advocate. :-) Please think maliciously on my behalf. This will lead us to make this system more robust.
What damage can result in case of failure (for one or more persons)?
- Denial of certain rights.
- Denial of certain public/private resources.
- Legal/Panel actions against responsible person(s).
You aren't thinking maliciously enough. I have an extremely appropriate idea here, but I would lose the debate via Godwin's law.
Please go ahead. We are here to debate this issue. No one is going to lose any thing. :-)
What happens when the identifier is compromised or corrupted?
Re-issue in case of lose/corruption.
Legal/panel action(s) through audit trail - compromised in cases of
forgery etc.
So all that I need to do is change the information in the database where this information is stored and make you into a terrorist?
That's why keep those records disconnected and maitained by different authorities under same IDs. Any change at one place can creat sufficient audit trail for the perpetrator and/or the victim.
Think really, really maliciously. History has a good set of examples of system failures. Those who do not learn from history ...
Please site some examples. Makes things clearer. :-)
Date of Birth Place of Birth Given Name Names of Mother/Father Current and Past Employers Educational records - degrees and certifications Criminal Records
Caste? Religion? Residential address? Passport number?
Caste can be recorded were required. Religion? We are suppose to be a secular country. :-) Other two need not be public info.
One number to bring them together and bind them in the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie?
Ahhh... Why this always lead to fear of misuse by authorities or police state? Can we not make system which can not be easely taken over by Big Brother(s)? Or it's just wistful thinking?
