How the SDK works

The India Identity SDK encapsulates the IRIS manager core function as follows:

The Samsung India Identity SDK provides the following:

  • encrypted and signed PID
  • session key
  • HMAC

You app:

  • constructs the authentication or E-KYC XML request for the UIDAI Server
  • fills the request with the encrypted and signed PID, session key, and HMAC provided by SDK

You can test your apps with the UIDAI staging server, pre-production server, or production server.

To test with production or pre-production, you must have access to a AUA/KUA server. For more information about AUA/ASA server, see Aadhaar Authentication API 2.0.1.
