This initiative addresses the rising digital addiction among Indian youth. The system restricts access to unauthorized websites, gambling, and social media through a dual-layer verification process involving government-issued IDs and continuous biometric monitoring.
- Addiction Statistics: Approximately 33% of Indian children are currently addicted to online gaming.
- Unauthorized Access: Roughly 8.3% of children access unauthorized websites.
- Screen Time Trends: 6 out of 10 children spend between 3-4 hours daily on mobile devices.
- Market Reach: Targeting a Serviceable Available Market (SAM) of 700-820 million active smartphone users in India.
- "Make in India": A proud domestic product designed to prevent the personal data leakage or theft often associated with foreign competitors.
- Data Sovereignty: Ensures personal data is stored securely and safely within national borders.
The system employs a rigorous verification workflow to ensure persistent session integrity:
- Identity Verification: Initial registration verifies if a user is a "Major" or "Minor" using a Voter ID issued by the Election Commission of India.
- Continuous Authentication: Users verified as adults must undergo continuous Iris scanning or Facial Recognition while accessing restricted platforms.
- Timed Log Out: The system performs a biometric scan every 60 seconds; failure to match the authorized user results in an immediate session termination.
- Encryption: Implements 2048-bit RSA SSL encryption, matching high-security standards used by platforms like DigiLocker.
- Biometric Precision: Utilizes Iris recognition with a false acceptance rate of 1:10 million, offering accurate identification from a distance.
- Data Infrastructure: Designed for hosting on ISO 27001 certified facilities with multi-zone data redundancy.
- Core Language: Python (Backend and Frontend development).
- Hardware Requirements: Iris Scanning / Facial recognition camera, and a standard mobile device or laptop.
- Protocol: 2048-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for all encrypted data transmissions.
- Regulatory Integration: Implementation requires strategic collaboration with the Government of India for secure Voter ID database access.
- Hardware Maintenance: Continuous biometric scanning requires well-maintained sensors to prevent hardware wear over extended use.
