With the help of a dedicated iris scanning camera built into the smartphone, the unique software of the company along with hardware captures the iris-ID information of the user. The operating system first encodes the information and then encrypts it with UID’s public key. The encrypted information is further sent to the UIDAI server for a match. After this, UIDAI server responds and results in a token, ‘Yes’ or ‘No’.
