Data protection and privacy have always been a concern for individuals when they're involved in the various processes happening within the government structure. The existence of certain data always poses risks to the citizens' privacy, and most importantly, information that contains personal identity numbers. The Aadhaar number is one such identity for which its secure management while availing various Government services has always been a concern. 

Therefore, UIDAI mandates the secure storage of residents' Aadhaar numbers in a separate repository known as ‘Aadhaar Data Vault’. All government departments offering citizen services and using the Aadhaar number in their application workflows are required to use the Aadhaar Data Vault for secure management of Aadhaar numbers and related data. 

By establishing Aadhaar Data Vault, the UIDAI aims to enhance the security and privacy of residents' Aadhaar information, thereby reinforcing the overall integrity and trustworthiness of the Aadhaar ecosystem.

• The primary purpose of the Aadhaar Data Vault is to securely store residents' Aadhaar numbers and their related data.
• Duplicate Check - The department can verify Aadhaar enrollment for schemes with other departments.
• The solution is customizable to extend the secure storage of other identities and their associated data
• The solution can be deployed as a centralized identity registry for the secure management of Personal Identity Information (PII).

• Flexibility to choose unique or multiple reference key generation to refer to one Aadhaar Number.
• Secure and seamless integration with the existing applications through REST API. 
• Transaction statistics through a Dashboard.
• Support for batch migration of existing Aadhaar Numbers.
• Logical portioning of the data and assigned with the dedicated repository, in case of multiple entities using it as a centralized vault.
• MIS and Billing.

• Open Source-based solution.
• Can be seamlessly integrated by applications.
• Build on REST-based API calls.
• Enabled by FIPS 140-2 Certified device to manage Keys used for encryption and decryption.
• Scalable to meet the high throughput requirements.

• Java-Based Installation on Linux/Windows Platform.
• Integration libraries to integrate with ADV are provided in Java, .Net, Python, PHP.
