DigiYatra passengers’ data stored on their own device not in centralised storage, govt says

In a statement, Scindia explained that the data of DigiYatra passengers is not stored in a centralized location but is instead stored on their own devices. Reacting to his claims, Scindia confirmed that passengers’ personal information is not stored in any central repository or by the Digi Yatra foundation. He added that the information is stored only in the passenger’s own phone in the Digi Yatra wallet. All the passengers’ data is encrypted and stored in the wallet of their smartphone. It is shared only between the passenger and the airport of travel origin, where the passenger's Digi Yatra ID needs to be validated.
