10:58 PM GOVERNMENT OF INDIA LAUNCHED DIGITAL LOCKER

(WEBSITE- http://digitallocker.gov.in) "The digital locker is an online repository where a user can store and share his certificates issued by private and government agencies." The department of electronics and information technology (DeitY), has launched the beta version of a digital locker where such documents can be stored. Currently the individuals are given about 10 MB of space which is expected to increase till 1 GB. The storage space will be provided on cloud hosted by National Informatics Centre and the software is being developed by the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC). The key purpose of the digital locker is to minimize the resubmission of physical documents and provide a framework where authenticated certificates can reside thereby minimizing fraud. The documents can be self attested by the individuals using digital signatures, and even government agencies can store their documents on this network. The beta version of the digital locker is currently hosted at www.digitallocker.gov.in which in a way is a cloud- based file sharing service. Citizens will be able to access their digital lockers using their Aadhaar number and mobile number. Citizens can store certificates like degrees, PAN Card, Aadhaar, BPL certificate, passport etc.
