1) Indonesia faces challenges in establishing a national e-authentication system due to the lack of a national cyber security initiative and reliance on commercial security providers from multinational companies. 2) Implementing a biometric system requires addressing issues of national infrastructure, equipment manufacturing and logistics chains, and data storage capabilities. 3) Collaboration is needed between the government, IT industry, and commercial sectors to develop Indonesia's certificate authority and create a reliable and secure platform for electronic transactions.

11. CONCLUSION
The need for having a CA in Indonesia is
certainly unavoidable. A strong support from

strong platform for a secured electronic
transaction for public and private use.
