Risks and threats inevitably accompany the increasing use of the internet. The emergence of data leaks, virtual fraud, piracy, and other digital crimes poses a collective challenge in the rapidly expanding realm of internet usage. In response to these challenges, FMIPA UGM and PT. Sandhiguna Widya Proteksi synergize in research and innovation to develop the Key Management System (KMS), as announced through a collaboration signed on Thursday, 28^th December 2023, at FMIPA UGM. The event was attended by the Dean of FMIPA UGM and his team, the Cryptography Research Team of FMIPA UGM, and representatives from PT. Sandhiguna Widya Proteksi. In this context, The President and Commissioner of UMG Idealab, Kiwi Aliwarga, and The Director of PT. Sandhiguna Widya Proteksi, Desi Hapsari, also virtually attended.

“On behalf of FMIPA UGM, we will support this collaboration,” stated Prof. Dr.Eng. Kuwat Triyana, M.Si in his address. The developed research product is a system designed to manage and supervise the use of encryption keys in cryptography. “This product can be considered the first of its kind in Indonesia or even Southeast Asia. As information, the KMS product has been certified by Common Criteria (ISO 15408), recognized in 31 countries. So, this KMS product can be applied in 31 countries. Because it’s the first, the challenge is how our resources can support it. Honestly, we have to admit that finding experts in the field of cryptography is still very limited,” explained Ali Antonius, the Regional Head of UMG Idealab (Sandhiguna). The existing research collaboration is a manifestation of the SDGs values in the fields of innovation and partnership, aiming to achieve goals in addressing data security issues and digital crimes.

The Head of the Cryptography Research Team, Prof. Dr.rer.nat. Indah Emilia Wijayanti, S.Si., M.Si., conveyed that the synergy in research will expand and strengthen interdisciplinary research, such as mathematics and computer science. “On the other hand, this research is an implementation of existing knowledge to address issues such as data security and cybercrime. The challenge in this collaboration lies in standardizing a robust security system to withstand hacking,” explained Indah. The hope is that this research will raise awareness of data security and digital literacy across multiple sectors, including government, society, and other institutions. Ali also expressed his hope, saying, “May this collaboration proceed smoothly and well. Together, let’s build products that can benefit Indonesia because currently and in the future data security is an absolute necessity. Also, both parties can mutually benefit from this collaboration.”

The exploration of hydrocarbons in Indonesia has become a crucial agenda in the effort to meet national energy needs. There are at least 5 components that need attention in energy management: utility, rationality, addition, sustainability, community welfare, preservation of environmental functions, national resilience, and integration by prioritizing national capabilities. Ideally, these 5 components should be integrated and implemented comprehensively in the effort to realize sustainable energy management in Indonesia. Referring to the aspect of sustainability, FMIPA UGM and Pertamina collaborated on research using the Processing Passive Seismic method, representing the values of the SDGs in the points of clean and affordable energy, innovation, maintaining terrestrial ecosystems, and partnerships to achieve goals.

On Friday, December 13^rd , a meeting was held to discuss the final report of the research collaboration at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, UGM. “Appreciation for FMIPA UGM from the beginning to the end of the research collaboration. The hope is to provide a new perspective regarding the presence of hydrocarbons in the location and as an added value related to hydrocarbon analysis in the field,” explained Hafizhan Ihsandani, S.T., GGR Subsurface Development Area 1 Pertamina. In future improvements, Hafizhan also suggested further analysis to obtain optimal data (silent moments).

The head of the research team, Dr. Wahyudi, M.S. outlined the challenges in the conducted research. “The challenge is the emergence of noise from a distance. It seems clear in the field, but when analyzed, noises are found. So, we have to repeat data acquisition.” Despite this, Dr. Wahyudi expressed optimism about the sustainability of the method used because of its cost-effectiveness, low social conflict effects due to the passive nature of the method, and its environmental friendliness.
