"Introduction to Digi Yatra","Digi Yatra is a decentralized digital wallet system for air travel in India. It aims to provide a seamless and paperless journey for passengers by automating identity verification and boarding pass checks at airports. The system does not store any centralized data, addressing privacy concerns."
"How Digi Yatra Works","Users register on the Digi Yatra app by linking their Aadhaar (national ID) and creating a verified credential. When traveling, they link their boarding pass to the app. At the airport, facial recognition is used to verify identity and boarding pass details at entry, security, and boarding gates."
"Benefits and Adoption","Digi Yatra has been adopted by 4.5 million users and used 19 million times across 14 airports in 15 months since launch. It improves security by validating IDs against original databases and automating manual checks. The system is especially appreciated by older travelers for its ease of use."
"Privacy and Data Handling","No passenger data is stored centrally by Digi Yatra. Airports only keep biometric data for 24 hours as per regulations. Users can delete their data from the app at any time. The system aims for 'privacy by design' while facilitating secure data sharing between stakeholders."
"Challenges and Future Improvements","Current challenges include standardizing data formats across airlines and airports, integrating with more identity providers beyond Aadhaar, and expanding to international travel. Future improvements may include direct integration with airline reservation systems and adding support for passport-based verification."
"Stakeholder Integration","Digi Yatra aims to improve data sharing between airports, airlines, and security agencies to create a truly seamless passenger journey. However, this requires overcoming technical and regulatory hurdles in standardizing data exchange and access." |
