Biometric devices are used for various authentication processes, particularly in systems like Aadhaar Authentication, AEPS Financial transactions, and eKYC processes. However, ensuring the security of biometric data is important to prevent unauthorized access and potential breaches. To address this concern, UIDAI has established security compliance standards, notably L0 and L1 compliance levels, to regulate the implementation of biometric device security.
Level 0 compliance signifies that the signing and encryption of biometric data occur within the software zone at the host OS level. This necessitates careful management of private keys to prevent unauthorized access. It is imperative for all device providers to obtain at least Level 0 compliance, ensuring that mechanisms to easily obtain private keys or inject biometrics are absent.
On the other hand, Level 1 compliance indicates a higher level of security where the signing and encryption of biometric data are implemented within the Trusted Execution Environment (TEE). In this scenario, host OS processes or users do not possess any mechanism to access private keys or inject biometrics. Private key management is exclusively within the TEE, enhancing security measures. All processes related to creating a biometric PID block must occur within the TEE, including biometric processing/extraction, signing, and encryption.
To better understand the distinction between L0 and L1 biometric devices, it’s essential to examine key parameters:
Ensuring compliance with L0 and L1 security standards is paramount in the deployment of biometric devices, especially in sensitive applications like Aadhaar Authentication. While L0 compliance offers a basic level of security, L1 compliance enhances security measures by encrypting biometric data within the device itself. Understanding these compliance levels is essential for organizations and developers involved in implementing biometric authentication solutions, as it ensures data integrity and protects against potential security threats.
