The service utilizes advanced encryption standards to secure the biometric data. It generates a digital signature that verifies the origin of the data, ensuring that the fingerprint was captured by a specific, registered Secugen device at that exact moment in time. This process creates a secure, encrypted biometric packet (often adhering to ISO/IEC 19794-2 or proprietary secure standards) that the application receives. The application cannot view the raw image unless it possesses the correct decryption keys and authorization, effectively neutralizing man-in-the-middle attacks.
If you use SecuGen fingerprint scanners, the is what makes them work smoothly with your PC or software. It runs in the background so your device is always ready.
: Every fingerprint scan is signed by the service provider and encrypted into a secure PID block before being sent to host applications like Jeevan Pramaan or eKYC.
The RD Service transforms a standard SecuGen scanner into a "Registered Device" by performing several security tasks:
