##Perks for submitting proposals:
Submitting a proposal, especially with our process, is hard work. We appreciate your effort.
We offer one conference ticket at discounted price to each proposer, and a t-shirt.
We only accept one speaker per talk. This is non-negotiable. Workshops may have more than one instructor.
In case of proposals where more than one person has been mentioned as collaborator, we offer the discounted ticket and t-shirt only to the person with who the editorial team corresponded directly during the evaluation process.
##Format:
The Fifth Elephant is a two-day conference with two tracks on each day. Track details will be announced with a draft schedule in February 2018.
We are accepting sessions with the following formats:
##Selection criteria:
The first filter for a proposal is whether the technology or solution you are referring to is open source or not. The following criteria apply for closed source talks:
The criteria for selecting proposals, in the order of importance, are:
No one submits the perfect proposal in the first instance. We therefore encourage you to:
Our editorial team helps potential speakers in honing their speaking skills, fine tuning and rehearsing content at least twice - before the main conference - and sharpening the focus of talks.
##How to submit a proposal (and increase your chances of getting selected):
The following guidelines will help you in submitting a proposal:
To summarize, we do not accept talks that gloss over details or try to deliver high-level knowledge without covering depth. Talks have to be backed with real insights and experiences for the content to be useful to participants.
##Passes and honorarium for speakers:
We pay an honorarium of Rs. 3,000 to each speaker and workshop instructor at the end of their talk/workshop. Confirmed speakers and instructors also get a pass to the conference and networking dinner. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses.
##Travel grants for outstation speakers:
Travel grants are available for international and domestic speakers. We evaluate each case on its merits, giving preference to women, people of non-binary gender, and Africans. If you require a grant, request it when you submit your proposal in the field where you add your location. The Fifth Elephant is funded through ticket purchases and sponsorships; travel grant budgets vary.
##Last date for submitting proposals is: 31 March 2018.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:

The Aadhaar project holds at least 3 PB of data and possibly more. It’s promise of providing a unique multi-modal biometric backed Identity to everyone in India has hinged on the quality of biometric templates obtained during enrollment and also the veracity and trustworthiness of the identity documents. The scale needed for the project can only be achieved through enrollment centers that are spread out and available in every village.
The UIDAI enlisted Common Service Centers (CSC) and 60,000 Private agents for both enrollment and updates. Frauds are inevitable in such a scaled-up system and hence much care was taken to standardize the enrollment process through software, which was deployed on the enrollment centers. Another set of defences were built in the back end through data analytics to detect fraud.
Every confirmed fraud resulted in adding more security features in the enrollment software. However the UP Aadhaar hack case, provided the first glimpse into how the fraudsters managed to disable the security features and also defeat the back end data analytics. The offline nature of data acquisition provided a window large enough to compromise the data quality of the biometric templates and the identity documents without getting detected for at least an year.
Further the streamlining of the process of data acquisition, made it very hard to stop the deployment and further usage of the compromised software even today, thus illustrating the problem of data acquisition at scale with good quality.
End goal of this talk is to make attendees recognize that
Just your Aadhaar numbers!
I helped the Petitioners, who challenged the Aadhaar project on the Supreme Court of India to understand the technology behind Aadhaar and can say with some modesty that I also helped the senior counsels Mr. Shyam Divan, Mr. Gopal Subramaniam, Mr. Anand Grover and Mr. Vishwanath to sharpen their propositions in the court.
