“…If personal information is collected or accessed without authorization by the owner or the organization dealing with information, it can result in counterfeit of that individual information and fraudster. This would mean mistrust of the technology and noncompliance by the end-users [15], because threats to data secrecy and safety of information demand the building of trust amongst end users and government to ensure fruitful adoption levels of e-services [16]. Therefore, trust must be developed in e-services to alleviate fears that data gathered for one reason is not used for other purposes without prior authorization from the individual.…”

“…Therefore, trust must be developed in e-services to alleviate fears that data gathered for one reason is not used for other purposes without prior authorization from the individual. One possible stratagem to form trust is to offer the end users the capability to have some control over the data kept during e-government transactions and to identify who or which government department can access it [15]. An important development in this regard is the progression of international data protection laws and guidelines that oversee the use, gathering, and storage of end user's information.…”

The increase in terrorism and identity fraud has forced governments worldwide to make a combined effort to enhance the security of national borders. Biometric passports are the emergent identity travel document deployed in guaranteeing the safekeeping of the entry point of the border and limiting the usage of counterfeit documents. This study analyzes users’ concerns and threats to the biometric passport delivery system in Uganda, where the first biometric passports are planned for rollout in 2019. We used a mixed approach to compute and articulate the results. Factors impacting fear of technology like disclosure of personal data, improper data transmission, and data abuse were determined. Relevance knowledge of preferred technology such as the personal experience of the technology, data privacy awareness and perceived usefulness was confirmed. Threats and attacks on the technology such as counterfeit and brute-force were identified. It is important for policymakers and security expertise to understand that biometric technologies evoke fears of privacy and public liberties infringements. Therefore, end user’s acceptance of biometric passports will be dependent on the degree of trust in the technology itself and in those operating the applications.

“…In India, e‐government has become a term to identify the increasing role (and promise) of technology as an agent of governance. There are four categories of e‐government applications: (1) Government‐to‐Citizen, (2) Government‐to‐Business, (3) Government‐to‐Government and (4) Government‐to‐Employee (Gudavalli M et al, ). While Ursula Rao () has examined data management and the workings of the Indian government, more research is needed to elucidate how e‐governance is translated to citizens, businesses and other governments through both the state and non‐governmental organizations.…”

A New Development Technology? South Asian Biometrics and the Promise of State Security and Economic Opportunity

This paper examines the intra-and inter-state usage of biometrics as a "new" technology of development and neoliberal security in South Asia. We view developmental use of biometrics as a tool for integrating the vast majority of poor and marginalized people as visible and calculable economic subjects. We examine the ways in which biometrics translates people into data for the purposes of state, security, and economic legibility. In this paper, we explore biometrics at the intersection of geopolitics, biopolitics, and development to highlight the promise and pitfalls of "technological progress" as a new development strategy."Authorities in India are investigating how Hanuman, the monkey god, has been issued a biometric identity card. The card photo features the character from the Hindu epic Ramayana wearing gold and pearl jewellery and a crown. It emerged when a postman attempted to deliver the card, but could not find a Hanuman at the address." -BBC 1 Whether this "ID of the Gods" was a prank or a form of sabotage is perhaps inconsequential, rather we take note that the problem in the system was only realized when the card failed to be delivered. Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) also known as Aadhaar was launched in 2009 and aims to issue an ID card with a 12-digit unique number to all of India's 1.2 billion citizens with biometric details-iris scan, fingerprints and photographs. The Aadhaar/UIDAI program offers an individualized system of existing state welfare and development programs. Proponents of biometrics promise a future that is secure and profitable, enabling the free movement of goods and people, while curtailing corruption and terrorism. The dreams of massive state development projects, the national ID program being merely the latest iteration, are rarely shaken from their slumber in the plans and speculations of their proponents, while the practice and everyday lives of those people who interact with these systems require further attention by geographers. Hanuman's ID reminds us, according to Gupta (2012, 9), of "the sheer contingency underlying the workings of a supposedly highly rationalized, bureaucratic state." Gupta questions how state bureaucracies produce arbitrary outcomes under the guise of provisioning care, development and security.This paper provides an overview of biometrics research in Human and Development Geography, and related social sciences. The increase in intra-and inter-state usage of biometrics data as an emerging development technology requires further inquiry, and this paper outlines the extant literature and calls for more research on biometrics in the global south. By focusing on South Asia, we provide differentiated examples of biometrics usage in order to examine the

Abstract:With the massive proliferation of online applications for the citizens with abundant resources, there is a tremendous hike in usage of e-governance platforms. Right from entrepreneur, players, politicians, students, or anyone who are highly depending on web-based grievance redressal networking sites, which generates loads of massive grievance data that are not only challenging but also highly impossible to understand. The prime reason behind this is grievance data is massive in size and they are highly unstructured. Because of this fact, the proposed system attempts to understand the possibility of performing knowledge discovery process from grievance Data using conventional data mining algorithms. Designed in Java considering massive number of online e-governance framework from civilian's grievance discussion forums, the proposed system evaluates the effectiveness of performing datamining for Big data.
