I know there are several components in this UID project. I know for
sure the bio metric matching compoent (the software) is run in linux
and i have seen the documents that are given to vendors bidding for
bio metric matching component and it clearly states that the software
apart from having a windows component should work in Linux. I have
seen it clearly mentioning ubuntu in which software should work for it
to qualify to the bidding process. I have seen the biometric software
development process was happening in RHEL and in part C/C++ and in
part java code. This is no one or two servers these matching software
will run, but in a cluster of hundred or so servers. So you need a
data center to run this not one or two servers.
In one of the articles, there were several datacenters mentioned. So, I
can imagine the number of servers that might be required. And, When you
mention the biometric software development process is happening in RHEL,
do you know whether the matching technology is proprietary or something
in house ?
Also, many of us in the list have noticed MSSQL being used on the client
side. Do you know of any link between how the exported data from MSSQL
is fed into the store where the biometric data is kept ? And, the
biggest question of all, where/how do they store this highly sensitive
biometric data ? Do they store the digest of our finger prints or the
actual finger print data ? because I think the latter would infringe on
an individual's privacy.
It will be helpful, if you can share your thoughts on the above questions.
