JAKARTA \u2014 PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk, the National Cyber and\nCrypto Agency (BSSN), Perum Percetakan Uang Republik Indonesia (Perum\nPeruri) and the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency\n(Danantara) are strengthening their strategic collaboration. The move\naims to prepare the national digital ecosystem for advances in quantum\ncomputing through the Quantum-Safe Indonesia initiative.<\/p>\n
The memoranda of understanding were signed on the sidelines of the\nDanantara Technology Innovation Investment Forum 2026 in Jakarta on\nTuesday (28 October 2026). The collaboration is intended to explore the\ndevelopment of technology, cryptography and cyber-security capabilities\nto anticipate risks to future encryption systems.<\/p>\n
The two agreements provide a basis for the parties to explore\nsolutions for the post-quantum cryptography era. They will also work to\nimprove organisational readiness to identify cryptographic assets,\nassess risks and plan a phased migration.<\/p>\n
The Danantara Technology Innovation Investment Forum 2026 is a\nflagship event bringing together government institutions, state-owned\nenterprises, global technology leaders, investors, research institutions\nand strategic partners. The forum promotes the use of technology by\ntranslating it into industrial applications, collaboration,\nimplementation and concrete investment opportunities.<\/p>\n
Advances in quantum computing offer opportunities for technological\ninnovation, but also pose new challenges to digital security. Once\nquantum computers reach a certain level of capability, some of the\ncryptographic algorithms currently used to protect data could become\nvulnerable.<\/p>\n
Preparation for the post-quantum era needs to begin early, through\nthe development of new algorithms and a clear understanding of the\ncryptographic assets in use. Organisations also need to assess their\nrisk levels and draw up migration stages suited to their individual\nrequirements.<\/p>\n
BSSN\u2019s post-quantum cryptography migration framework covers\npreparation, the inventory of cryptographic assets and quantum risk\nassessment. It also includes migration planning and implementation,\nstrengthening cryptographic agility, and regular monitoring and\nevaluation.<\/p>\n
Organisations across Indonesia can use this framework to begin a\nstructured and measurable transition. The adjustment process will take\naccount of operational needs and applicable security standards.<\/p>\n
Through the Quantum-Safe Indonesia initiative, the parties will\nexplore several areas of development, including cryptographic asset\ndiscovery and readiness assessments. These efforts are expected to help\norganisations understand the state of their systems and prepare\nmitigation measures based on their level of risk.<\/p>\n
Under the collaboration, BSSN will contribute frameworks,\nmethodologies, standards and governance for cyber security and\ncryptography. Telkom will support technology development and the\nintegration of capabilities, including the exploration of tools to\nidentify cryptographic assets.<\/p>\n
Perum Peruri will contribute its capabilities in digital trust,\ndigital identity, cyber security and related technologies. The scope of\ncooperation also includes developing digital use cases and exchanging\nknowledge.<\/p>\n
Danantara will help coordinate the ecosystem and explore\nopportunities to apply relevant capabilities across state-owned\nenterprises. Its role includes coordinating pilot projects and\nvalidating implementation to support the adoption of suitable\nsolutions.<\/p>\n
Telkom President Director Nanang Hendarno said developments in\nquantum technology should be seen as a long-term readiness issue for the\ndigital ecosystem. The company is committed to building capabilities\nthat will enable organisations to understand their cryptographic assets\nin a structured way.<\/p>\n
\u201cDevelopments in quantum technology should be seen as a long-term\nreadiness issue for the digital ecosystem. Through collaboration with\nBSSN and Perum Peruri, and with coordination support from Danantara,\nTelkom wants to help build capabilities that enable organisations to\nunderstand their cryptographic assets, assess their readiness and\nprepare mitigation measures in a more structured way,\u201d Nanang said.<\/p>\n
He added that the signing provides a strategic foundation for further\ntechnology development. The parties will continue to study the technical\nimplementation of the collaboration together.<\/p>\n
Ricardo Irwan Rei, Managing Director of Strategic Technology\nInitiatives at Danantara, expressed a similar view on the importance of\ncross-sector cooperation. Strengthening national technological\nresilience requires the active involvement of a range of\nstakeholders.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/telkom-strengthens-digital-ecosystem-for-the-quantum-era-1793163184", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
