Digital signatures are used to secure electronic documents in Indonesia. Why use digital signatures for documents and transactions when traditional signatures are easier? A digital signature, as defined by the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), is a type of digital signature that uses a mathematical algorithm to validate the authenticity and integrity of a message, such as an email, credit card transaction, or digital document.
Basic Concept of Digital Signatures
Before diving into how digital signatures work, let's understand the basic concept. Digital signatures are not limited to just document authentication; they can secure digital transactions.
1. Digital Signatures Require an ID Card
The process of creating a digital signature starts with registration by the individual or organization with a Certificate Authority (CA) like VIDA. Applicants must provide valid identification documents such as a KTP (Indonesian ID card) or NPWP (tax number), and other necessary documents. The CA issues a digital certificate configured with the user's official identity.
2. Digital Signatures can Prevent Document Forgery
Document forgery can cause financial losses and damage reputations. Here’s how VIDA's digital signatures ensure document authenticity and integrity:
Digital signatures involve asymmetric cryptography, using a public key infrastructure (PKI). VIDA's system generates a pair of cryptographic keys: private and public.
- Private Key: A code only held by the digital signature owner.
- Public Key: A code linked with the digital certificate and encrypted document.
3. Digital Signature Authenticity Can Be Checked
To sign a digital document, the signer uses their private key to create a code representing their digital signature. This certificate is digitally signed by the CA and can be verified by third parties at [tte.kominfo.go.id](https://tte.kominfo.go.id/verifyPDF) to ensure authenticity and integrity.
