UIDAI recently introduced a new security feature to the Aadhaar Enabled Payment System (AEPS). The security feature is called fingerprint ‘liveliness’ and is expected to help prevent using fake fingerprints to withdraw money through AEPS. A senior government official cited in an ET report stated that the new feature has been pushed to AEPS point of sale (PoS) machines via a software upgrade.
