Challenge

Build an Aadhaar-Compliant eKYC Fraud Mitigation Pipeline with Pydantic AI

Digital public infrastructure identity workflows require zero-trust security and strict data privacy compliance. In this challenge, you will develop a type-safe Aadhaar eKYC verification and spoofing detection pipeline using Pydantic AI. The agent processes anonymized eKYC XML/JSON payloads, verifies digital signatures, detects biometric spoofing indicators (liveness score, facial match index), and outputs fully validated compliance certificates while guaranteeing PII masking.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates PII masking correctness and eKYC verification approval outcomes.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

pii_protection_test

Verifies raw UID is never present in final verification output.

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

verification_accuracy

Accuracy in correctly passing valid KYC attempts and rejecting spoofed attempts. • target: 1 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
