The Supreme Court verdict, responding to 27 petitions against the ‘draconian’ nature of Aadhaar , has been a mixed bag. Far from it.A few weeks ago, hackers were found to have created 26 patches to the Aadhaar enrolment software. The original intent of the software was to have the device GPS-locked, so that no one could operate an enrolment centre outside India. But that was not the attack model exposed in the news story.The accuracy of the de-duplication software is not 100%. With more than one billion people, even a 1% lack of accuracy can lead to many duplicate Aadhaar numbers.
