Abstract

Several cybercriminals and hackers are currently attempting to obtain an immovable property using fraudulent land papers in the digital realm. However, electronic land certificates are now required to maintain land records as legitimate and compelling evidence of ownership. In addition, the security concerns associated with electronic land certificates due to cyber attacks have opened the way for legislation and regulations that protect landowners from such risks. Consequently, this article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the history and significance of electronic land certificates, data encryption, the growth of land laws, their availability, and the significance of cybersecurity to electronic land certificates in Indonesia. To fulfill the study's goal, a qualitative research design aided by a documentation technique for data collecting from diverse resources, such as case studies, legal archives, library facilities, and informal interviews with land officials from numerous locations in Indonesia, was employed. Despite several laws and regulations about the protection of land rights and electronic land certificates in Indonesia, several restrictions exist regarding the availability of regulations against false documentation and several escape routes for hackers and cybercriminals. In addition to the laws and regulations in Indonesia, their execution must be expedited, and the judicial system must be strengthened to maximize the benefits of such laws and regulations.
