Abstract

As digital transformation accelerates across public and private sectors in Indonesia, the legal recognition of electronic data becomes increasingly vital. This paper examines the regulatory framework governing electronic data in Indonesia, focusing on Law No. 11 of 2008 on Electronic Information and Transactions (ITE Law) and its amendments. It explores how electronic records and digital signatures are treated in legal processes, addresses admissibility issues in court, and identifies key challenges in ensuring security, authenticity, and public trust.
