Implementation of Blockchain Technology in Storing Minutes of Deeds as a Notary Protocol for Security and Realizing Legal Certainty

Abstract

Abstract. The role of Notaries in Indonesia in creating legal certainty by issuing authentic deeds. Using blockchain technology is one solution to simplify and deal with problems regarding Notary storage protocols that still use conventional media. This study aims to analyze how the implementation of blockchain technology into the Notary deed minutes storage protocol can improve security and transparency, as well as examine and explain the legal certainty of Notary protocol storage using blockchain technology based on the principles and legal norms applicable in Indonesia. The type of research used in this study is Normative law. which examines the principles, systematics, level of synchronization, history and comparative law. The theories used in this study are Information Security Theory, Trust Theory, and Legal Certainty Theory. The types and sources of data in this study are secondary data obtained by researchers through literature. The data analysis method used is qualitative analysis, namely describing data in the form of regular and effective sentences to facilitate interpretation and understanding of the results of the analysis. The results of the study show that implementing blockchain technology in the storage of Notary deed minutes can significantly increase security and transparency, blockchain technology offers a solution in maintaining the validity and security of legal data in the digital era. Thus, the application of blockchain in storing notarial deed minutes can also strengthen the integrity of the legal system as a whole. The absence of regulations that explicitly regulate the storage of notarial protocols in digital form in the UUJN causes legal uncertainty. Although there is a legal basis from the Archives Law and the ITE Law regarding electronic documents, this is not enough to provide complete legal protection for notaries in carrying out their duties digitally. Therefore, legal efforts are needed to adjust technological developments to applicable laws and regulations.
