What environmental benefits does the use of digital signatures bring?

The use of digital signatures reduces paper usage, which helps in preserving forests and contributes to environmental conservation. This is a key aspect of the green initiatives that promote eco-friendly practices.

How does digital signature help prevent the spread of viruses during the pandemic?

During the pandemic, digital signatures eliminate the need for physical contact or document exchanges, which helps in maintaining social distancing and prevents the potential spread of viruses, making them especially useful in this context.

What is the difference between a digital signature and an electronic signature?

A digital signature is a type of electronic signature that is created through an encryption process, ensuring higher security and making it harder to forge. While an electronic signature can be any form of signature made electronically, a digital signature specifically uses encryption to verify the signer's identity.

What legal backing does a digital signature have in Indonesia?

Digital signatures in Indonesia are legally recognized and have the same legal standing as wet signatures, as outlined by the Electronic Information and Transactions Law (UU ITE) and Government Regulation No. 71/2019 on Electronic Systems and Transactions.

What is the difference between certified and non-certified electronic signatures?

Certified electronic signatures (digital signatures) are created using a certified electronic certificate and adhere to government standards, offering the highest level of legal validity. Non-certified electronic signatures meet the legal requirements but do not use certified encryption or standards set by the government, which may result in lower levels of verification.

How does a digital signature ensure the integrity and non-repudiation of an electronic document?

A digital signature ensures document integrity by preventing unauthorized changes and ensures non-repudiation, meaning the signatory cannot deny having signed the document. This is achieved through encryption processes that link the signature to the specific document and signatory.

Who can benefit from using digital signatures?

Digital signatures can benefit a wide range of users, including individuals, businesses, and government agencies, as they offer a secure, efficient, and legally binding way to sign documents electronically, regardless of location.

How can someone obtain a digital signature certificate in Indonesia?

To obtain a digital signature certificate in Indonesia, individuals must contact a recognized Certification Authority (PSRE) that has been accredited by the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo). The certificate is used to create legally valid digital signatures for electronic documents.
