Authentication of Electronic Evidence in the New Criminal Procedure Code: A Comparative Study of the United States
Keywords:
Electronic Evidence; , Digital Forensic; , Self AuthenticationAbstract
This study examines the concet of electronic evidence authentication n the Indonesian criminal evidence system based on Law Number 20 of 2025 concerning the Criminal Procedure code (KUHAP) and analyzes the urgency of regulating self-authentication mechanisms through hash values by means of a comparative study with the United States Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE). The method used is a normative legal research method with a statutory, and comparative legal approach. The results of the study show that although new KUHAP has recognized electronic evidence as valid evidence, it does not explain the regulation of technical authentication procedures. In contrast FRE Rule 902 (13)-(14) has regulated an efficient and standardized selfauthentication mechanism through written certification based on hash values that can be adopted and adapted by the legal system in Indonesia.
