Demonstration

A self explanatory demonstration of the application is at EasyPay.

Please use the Google Chrome! :-)

Introduction

The Aadhaar number is a fantastic project that aims at giving every person in India an identity. At a fundamental level, having and being able to prove one's identity is basic human right. Being able to do this through a path of very minimal resistance opens up a plethora of opportunities for business use cases in the private sector.

EasyPay is a proof of one such application using the Aadhaar platform. It demonstrates the ability to BUY and SELL virtual candies purely through a Two Factor Authentication provided by the Aadhaar platform and its partners.

Use case of EasyPay

Santosh is a virtual candy vendor with minimal resources. He has been able to establish his identity through the aadhaar card platform and has been recognized as a aadhaar approved business entity. It is a milestone to be certified by the government recognized body as someone who can conduct transactions through Aadhaar Approved vendors.

Sujeevana is a working mother and a candy lover also referred to as the consumer. Sujeevana has a payment method that has been registered with EasyPay a Aadhaar approved platform to facilitate monetary transactions.

The entire process can be done securely and using current information through the Aadhaar authentication.

The steps of the business use case are:

• Santosh sets up EasyPay to sell virtual candies
• Sujeevana comes and place the order
• Order gets authenticated using Aadhaar auth process
• Sujeevana gets directed to the OTP authorization page
• Sujeevana enters the OTP to securely authenticate herself and completes the order
• Santosh fulfills the order by giving Sujeevana 5 additional FREE candies
• Sujeevana moved up the Candy Lover Leaderboard in real time
