What is RD Service?
The Registered Device (RD) Service ensures that third party applications cannot store and use biometric data for authentication at a later time. Every fingerprint scan from a registered device is signed by the RD service provider and encrypted along with the time stamp, before being sent to the host application. Moreover, every registered device used in Aadhaar based applications has a unique identifier, allowing traceability and fraud management.
As per UIDAI guidelines, it is mandatory to use registered devices for all Aadhaar based applications.
This device is certified for use in AADHAAR authentication applications, along with RDSERVICE software from SecuGen India Pvt. Ltd. RDSERVICE is a software service provided by SecuGen India Pvt.

Charges are applicable for the RDSERVICE if not included at the time of purchase and should be paid to continue using the device in AADHAAR authentication applications with RDSERVICE.
