After intense researching for over a decade, Col (Retd.) Sanjeev Kaul, Security Technologist and Author of six books, has created a technology keeping Indian conditions in mind, to help secure the country technologically. Col Kaul claims that his newly developed Dynamic Identification System (DID) is an improvised version of the already existing technologies.
At a Press Conference at the Press Club of India on 22 February, 2018, Col Kaul demonstrated his ‘ideated and research platform’. He elucidated before the media how his platform will help provide a dynamic identification system carrying out identification as well as verification simultaneously without any human interference. Col Kaul has aptly named the device ‘Chanakya Chakra’ which basically happens to be a compatible hardware machine- ‘Palmetrix’. He asserts that his innovative project will be a National-International Interface based on Dynamic Identification System, called DID, once it gets implemented.
Inspired by the ‘Palm Vein Recognition Authentication Technology’ developed by Fujitsu, Japan more than a decade ago, and ‘Direct Server Authentication and Verification’ mode, this innovative system of identification has its working based on an individual’s pattern of veins established before birth. It was introduced in India in the year 2008, but has not been used extensively, except for marking attendance in a limited mode.
“As no two individuals in the world share a palm vein pattern, even the identical twins differ, the use of this technology to create an interface is the most credible method of securing an individual’s identity. It is unlike other static identifications like UID, and has a different dynamism in its system, that is most needed at national level now with the all round development and growth. The implementation of the same would take nearly two to three years in a country like India”, said Col Kaul.
In order to make the whole process crystal clear, Col Kaul has documented the detailed study and the necessary explanation of the mega project in an especially written trilogy of ‘Creative India Books.’ Two of these books have already been released under the titles- “Creative Politics, Creative India, Creative Youth in a Global Perspective” and “How To Make India Secure Again TECHNOLOGICALLY”, and the third book is yet to be released.
Being a government servant with a technology background and a good experience of office automation and networking systems service, Col. Kaul realized the grave threat to the identification of an individual. With a passion to work and invent an ‘Exchange cum Interface’ in India, Col. Kaul began his research and development in this field. Despite being unsuccessful for as many as six times while testing software for biometric technologies, the never say never die technocrat finally emerged triumphant when he came out with his unique system of identification presentation.
“The benefits of the system are multiple. The design is a potent one for protecting National Entities, Security in Inter-state Corridors, Managing Illegal Immigration, substantiating all the Static IDs through the process of self-filtering, controlling Human Trafficking, and many more across the Globe, making it a mega project in itself. The system has the wherewithal to ensure an individual’s Security, be it ‘Welfare Security’ or personal Safety & Security, prevent impersonation and create a stage for an Inter-National Interface, making corridors safe in the world, equally needed by most countries to protect their respective national identity and culture. More important, now Ram Singh cannot become Shyam Singh, by impersonation and escape scot free”, adds Col Kaul.
Talking about future projections of his ideas, Col Kaul mentioned about resolving critical issues of protecting money of many people by creating an inbuilt ID for the banking ID system. He explained how it could serve as a good source to discard the use of ATM. He also emphasized on the urgent need to introduce a project that could not be challenged especially as there were increasing number of threats to the identity of an individual in the present day times. Thus the need of a robust system in place to cope with scams like VYAPAM, MGNREGA, RTE, Delhi EWS Scam and copious of other Anti-social activities like Hacking and Siphoning of Bank Money to Nigeria, Human Trafficking, etc.
Col Kaul is confident that ‘Chanakya Charka’, with a technology fully suitable for the same, will secure the identity of nations once implemented.
