National Cyber and Crypto Agency (

cyber security agency.[1]

History

The foundation of the National Cyber and Crypto Agency is not separated from two preceding agencies, National Crypto Agency (Lembaga Sandi Negara, lit. 'State Signal Agency', abbreviated as Lemsaneg) and Cyber Information Defense and Security Desk (Desk Ketahanan dan Keamanan Informasi Cyber Nasional, abbreviated as DK2ICN).

Lembaga Sandi Negara (Lemsaneg)

Lemsaneg was the primary signal intelligence agency of Indonesia. It was founded by

Amir Sjarifuddin, Ministry of Defence at that time, to build a unit for signal intelligence. On 4 April 1946, Code Service (Dinas Code) was founded. As a medical doctor, he did not have any background or formal training in intelligence and signal intelligence. However, during the wartime and his assignment, he completed various crash courses in intelligence and signal intelligence. In 1949, during the Dutch-Indonesian Round Table Conference period, he completed a signal intelligence course from the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although just gaining knowledge from the courses, with his intelligence, intuition, logic, book readings, and imagination, he was finally able to make his own cryptography methods. His cryptography methods proved useful to secure the transmission of secret messages and government communications, during wartime and peacetime.[2]

On 2 September 1949, the Code Service renamed as Crypto Bureau (Djawatan Sandi (old spelling), Jawatan Sandi (new spelling)), thru Ministry of Defense Decree No. 11/MP/1949, and placed under the Ministry of Defense. On 16 January 1950, based from Presidential Decree No. 65/1950, Crypto Bureau separated on the Ministry of Defense to directly under the Office of The Prime Minister of Indonesia.[3]

1965 was a hard year for intelligence in Indonesia. During that time, the

attorney general.[4] After failed G30S/PKI coup
attempt, clearance tests were launched for all people in Crypto Bureau and the result declared that Crypto Bureau was clean and free from communist influence.

On 22 February 1972, thru Presidential Decree No. 7/1972, Crypto Bureau was renamed as National Crypto Agency (Lembaga Sandi Negara, lit. 'State Signal Agency', abbreviated as Lemsaneg).[5] Since then the name carried out until 2017.

Desk Ketahanan dan Keamanan Informasi Cyber Nasional (DK2ICN)

DK2ICN was a coordinating desk under 7th Deputy (Coordination of Communication, Information, and Apparatuses) of

Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs. The desk created thru Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs Decree No. 24/2014.[6] The coordination desk was a consortium and membered by representatives from: Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs, Agency of Assessment and Application of Technology (Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi [id
], abbreviated as BPPT), Indonesian Telematic Society (Masyarakat Telematika Indonesia, abbreviated as Mastel), Association of Indonesia Internet Provider (Asosiasi Penyedia Jasa Internet Indonesia, abbreviated as APJII), Indonesian Internet Domain Name Registry (Pengelola Nama Domain Internet Indonesia, abbreviated as PANDI), and independents.

Along with the decree, the proposal of future National Cyber Agency (Badan Cyber Nasional, abbreviated as BCN) drafted by National Security Council (Dewan Ketahanan Nasional, abbreviated as Wantannas) also included. Until the agency formed, DK2ICN still activated to carry out the cyber defense and cyber intelligence function.[7]

Predecessor of DK2ICN was National Cyber Security Desk (Desk Keamanan Siber Nasional, abbreviated as DKSN) under Wantannas in 2013. DK2ICN itself later renamed as National Cyberspace Desk (Desk Cyberspace Nasional, abbreviated as DCN) under Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs in 2016.[8]

State cyber activities in pre-BSSN period

Prior to the formation of BSSN, state cyber activities were carried out by the

Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Directorate of Informatics Application Control, Directorate of Information Security, and ID-SIRTII/CC), Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Directorate of Diplomatic Security of General Directorate Public Information and Diplomatics), and each ministry's Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT). Each agency had its own interests and functions, but mainly contributed for security purposes and protecting their own cyber infrastructure.[9]

Formation of BSSN

Joko Widodo, however, seems unpleased with BCN proposal. He thinked that proposed BCN still lacking something important: infrastructure and human resources. Due to infeasibility of the formation of a new agency such as BCN, he later chose to upgrade Lemsaneg, which have preexisting infrastructures and readily available human resources. He subsequently combined Lemsaneg and DK2ICN into new agency: BSSN.[10] On 19 May 2017, Presidential Decree No. 53/2017, the constituting document of BSSN, was signed by him. The decree also ordered that Ministry of Communication and Information Technology's Directorate of Information Security, and ID-SIRTII/CC to be handed to BSSN to provide BSSN access to state IT infrastructure security and state network protection. The decree, however, decreed that the BSSN become subordinate of Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs for temporary for coordinating purposes.[11] On 16 December 2017, he signed Presidential Decree No.133/2017. The decree taking out the BSSN from Coordinating Ministry for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs to be directed under the President.[12]

Training

BSSN, since was developed from Lemsaneg, it inherited Lemsaneg's primary training facility, STSN (Sekolah Tinggi Sandi Negara), which now become PoltekSSN (State Signal Polytechnics).

History

In past, during the war time (around 1947), Dinas Code held internships for who interested to be signal intelligence practitioners and operators. During its foundation period in peace time, in 1950s–1960s (now known as Djawatan Sandi), Djawatan Sandi relied on a special training program called Pendidikan Sandiman dan Juru Sandi (Education of Signal Operators and Signal Expert). In 1969, the program was elevated into a program called Pendidikan Ahli Sandi Gaya Baru (New Style Signal Expert Education). In 1973, the program was later upgraded and with many resources at that time to become a school called AKSARA (Akademi Sandi Negara, State Signal Academy). The school was later formally established in 1974 and gained approval by the Department of Education and Culture in 1975. AKSARA subsequently became STSN in 2002, and was formally established as an official state school by Presidential Decree No. 22/2003.[15]

STSN became PoltekSSN in 2019, after Ministry of Research, Technology, and Higher Education Decree No. 03/M/I/2018 on upgrading STSN to Polytechnics. It was later approved through Ministry of State Apparatuses and Bureaucratic Reform Decree No. B/1007/M.KT.01/2019, and Chief of BSSN Decree No. 12/2019.[15]

Aside of PoltekSSN rigorous education to train future BSSN members, BSSN also held less rigorous training for field and applied operators from another institutions. This program is called Diklat Sandiman (Signal Operators Short courses), which is available in 2 levels: Level II (Signal Operators) and Level I (Signal Expert).[16]
