Project Proposal for India
A secure, transparent, and inclusive digital petition platform that uniquely verifies petition signers using government-issued identity mechanisms, ensuring integrity and trust for both public and institutional stakeholders.
To empower Indian citizens to raise their voices and support causes through a trusted petition platform where each signature is authentic, unique, and verifiable.
Every signature is authenticated using government-issued identity documents, ensuring one-person-one-signature enforcement.
Complete visibility into petition progress, signature verification, and delivery status to relevant authorities.
Multi-language support, region-wise organization, and accessibility features ensure every citizen can participate.
Comprehensive platform designed to handle India's scale with robust identity verification, transparent governance, and seamless citizen experience.

Comprehensive safeguards against potential misuse scenarios, ensuring platform integrity and protecting democratic processes from manipulation.
| Misuse Scenario | Prevention & Control Measures |
|---|---|
Fake or Duplicate Signatures Multiple accounts, bot signatures | Identity-based deduplication using Aadhaar hash, mobile OTP, or DigiLocker tokens. One-person-one-signature enforcement with device fingerprinting. |
Automated Bot Submissions Mass automated signing | CAPTCHA verification, advanced device fingerprinting, rate-limiting algorithms, and behavioral analysis to detect non-human patterns. |
Offensive Content Misleading or harmful petitions | Petition moderation workflow with AI-powered content screening, community reporting tools, and human review panel for sensitive content. |
Signature Coercion Forced or pressured signing | Transparent audit trails, ability to withdraw signatures, digital consent logging, and anonymous reporting mechanisms for coercion. |
Identity Theft Fake or stolen documents | Aadhaar/DigiLocker integration verifies identity against official government records. Multi-factor authentication with OTP and biometric verification. |
Mass Trolling Coordinated harassment campaigns | AI-powered moderation engine for comments, behavioral pattern detection, temporary account suspension, and escalation to human moderators. |
Data Misuse Unauthorized data access | No raw PII storage, encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, comprehensive audit logs, and regular security assessments. |
Anti-National Content Illegal or harmful causes | Pre-screening against legal and ethical guidelines, government liaison for flagged content, admin intervention protocols, and compliance with IT Act regulations. |
Designed to handle India's massive scale - from millions of concurrent users to nationwide petition campaigns with zero downtime and optimal performance.
