Indonesia’s National Standardization Agency (Badan Standardisasi Nasional, or BSN) and the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN) held a formal coordination meeting on August 8, 2025, to advance preparation of a national migration roadmap to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) algorithms. According to a BSN announcement, the meeting focused on standardization and conformity assessment support for the PQC transition.
BSSN Director of Cybersecurity Technology Policy Soetedjo Joewono, who also chairs Technical Committee 35-04 on Information Security, Cybersecurity, and Privacy Protection, stated that classical cryptographic algorithms are predicted to become insecure by 2030 due to advances in quantum computing. He said BSSN had begun developing a PQC migration roadmap targeting sensitive public sectors such as banking and government services.
BSN Deputy for Standards Development Hendro Kusumo confirmed BSN’s readiness to collaborate on adopting international standards and developing relevant Indonesian National Standards (SNI) for cryptography management. BSSN disclosed it was also preparing introductory and migration guidance documents for PQC, aligned with the work of ISO/IEC JTC1 SC 27 WG2 on cryptographic security mechanisms.
