KYC User Agencies (KUA) is an organization or an entity using AADHAAR authentication and eKYC services from UIDAI as part of its applications to provide services to residents.
As an AUA/KUA, handling sensitive resident information such as biometric data and Aadhaar numbers, data security is paramount. AUAs connect to the CIDR through an ASA, using authentication requests to provide services like bank account opening and LPG connections. It’s crucial to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of UIDAI-related data and services.
