Indonesia has initiated a multi-sectoral effort to secure its digital ecosystem against the future risks of quantum computing. In late October 2026, Telkom, Peruri, Badan Siber dan Sandi Negara (BSSN), and Danantara Indonesia formalized the ‘Quantum-Safe Indonesia’ initiative. This collaboration focuses on developing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) capabilities, conducting cryptographic asset inventories, and planning a staged migration to quantum-resistant security standards.

By November 2026, these efforts expanded to include semiconductor technology development as a means of strengthening national digital sovereignty. During the Peruri Digital Summit 2026, Peruri highlighted the necessity of synergy between industry and academia to address domestic limitations in chip design. This included the Peruri Chip Hackathon 2026, which produced several security-focused chip designs, such as those intended to prevent e-passport forgery and protect encryption keys from physical hacking. Peruri continues to promote PQC to mitigate the “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” threat, where encrypted data is intercepted today for future decryption by quantum technology.
