Certificates as valid proof. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has taken
extraordinary measures to support the economy, including engaging credit guarantee
companies (Kurniawan & Solihin, 2022). Rules such as PP RI Number 43 of 2020 were
issued to allow the use of digital signatures and stamps. Indonesia Electronic Certification
Providers (PSrE) collaborate with credit guarantee companies to verify electronic
signatures. Implementation of this feature needs to be measured to evaluate its impact and
help companies improve guarantee services (Amang, 2015). This study evaluates the
implementation of digital signature and stamp features in the PEN Product Guarantee
Application System as part of the National Economic Recovery (PEN) program. The
research questions focus on the success rate of implementation and the relationship
between the variables in the model (Nurhidayah, 2020). The main objective is to measure
implementation success by utilizing the DeLone and McLean models and to analyze the
correlation of variables in the research context. The advantages of this research include
evaluating the use of digital signature and stamp features, developing improvement
strategies, and evaluating cooperation with electronic certification providers. Although
this research is limited to credit guarantee companies that involve active users of
application systems, the focus is on evaluating and measuring the implementation of
digital signature and stamp features on the system application. Lastly, this research aims
to support companies in improving the quality of underwriting services within the
framework of the PEN program run by the Indonesian government.
Digital Signature
Digital signatures have existed since the beginning of information and
communication technology development. The article "New Directions in Cryptography"
(Firmanesa, 2016) introduced the concept of digital signatures to maintain document
confidentiality. The concept of a digital signature involves a hash function, a one-way
mathematical function that generates a unique value for each input data. The electronic
document signing process involves processing the document as input in a hash function,
generating a unique value based on the data. In the running, PDF documents use standard
DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm) hash signatures and secure X.509 format, associating
public keys with identities such as websites or organizations (Kara, Arifin, & IIswahyudi,
2021). Digital signatures are essential in ensuring the integrity and authentication of
electronic documents in the modern technological era.
Digital Stamp
Although stamps and seals share similar meanings, their usage differs. "Stamp"
refers to marking using a stamp, and a stamp is the result of an image or writing printed
on an object. Stamps, just like postage stamps, are attached to important documents like
agreements and receipts. All three are symbols of individual identity, officials, or groups
in human history. Stamps function as identification and provide more substantial
assurance of approval in documents. In the context of this study, credit guarantee
companies in Indonesia replace manual stamps with digital stamps on Guarantee
Certificate documents. Creating digital stamps is a modern, practical, and secure method
involving digital technology. Credit guarantee companies comply with the X.509 format
