Privacy and Security

MOSIP's fundamental architecture and design incorporates highest levels of privacy and security.

Security by design

Key security features:

  • Encryption of data in-flight or rest. (See Data Protection)

  • Integration with trusted applications only.

  • Fraud avoidance - association of authentication only with specific transactions.

  • Misuse prevention - user can lock or unlock their authentication

  • Virtual ID and Tokens to prevent identity theft

Privacy by intent

Key privacy features:

  • Minimal data with selective disclosure on a need-to-know basis.

  • Sensitive data protected (not stored or logged in clear form).

  • Consent support – user decides who can receive what credentials.

  • No biometrics based search on database (only with ID).

  • De-centralised ID usage and data (cannot profile based on usage).

  • Virtual ID and Tokens to prevent profiling across transactions.

  • Face data is not sent to ABIS for deduplication.
