Security & Privacy
Our portal ensures state-of-the-art protection of identity records. Aadhaar details are never stored in plain text; they are protected at rest using symmetric **AES-256-CBC** encryption. Only masked representations (`XXXX-XXXX-1234`) are displayed on screen.
Volunteer Status
Registered volunteers are held in a **Pending** status until portal administrators verify the uploaded Service ID Card. Once approved, volunteers gain access to search, input profiles on behalf of offline veterans, and perform verification audits.
