<![CDATA[Academic administration processes at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Majalengka, currently rely on manual signatures, leading to bureaucratic inefficiency and vulnerability to physical document forgery. This research aims to develop a web-based Electronic Signature (E-Signature) system to ensure the authentication and integrity of digital academic documents. The research employs a Hybrid Method within a Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) framework, implementing the RSA algorithm and SHA-256 hashing into a QR Code medium. Results from security testing demonstrate that the system successfully detects any data manipulation within PDF files, while performance analysis confirms significant document processing time efficiency compared to conventional procedures. This study concludes that implementing a self-managed Internal Trusted Authority provides a security standard equivalent to external authorities for faculty-level requirements, transforming rigid manual bureaucracy into a real-time, accountable digital service. This implementation proves that integrating cryptographic technology at the university level effectively mitigates digital document legal risks without dependency on third-party certificate providers.]]>
