Abstract

Objective: To examine the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), political connections, and managerial incentives on firm value, with corporate governance serving as a moderating variable. The study also contributes to SDG 16 by exploring how corporate governance and accountability mechanisms influence firm value in the mining sector. Method: Employing a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the annual reports of mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018–2022 period. A total of 27 companies were selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 135 firm-year observations. Firm value is measured using Tobin’s Q, CSR is assessed using the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) index, political connections are identified through politically connected board members, and managerial incentives are measured using a natural logarithm formula. The hypotheses were tested using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Results: The findings indicate that Corporate Social Responsibility and managerial incentives have a positive and significant effect on firm value. In contrast, political connections do not significantly affect firm value. Furthermore, corporate governance is found to strengthen the relationship between managerial incentives and firm value, indicating its important role in promoting effective managerial decision-making and corporate performance. Novelty: Extending the literature by simultaneously examining CSR, political connections, and managerial incentives in determining firm value while incorporating corporate governance as a moderating variable in the mining sector. The findings provide evidence that effective governance mechanisms can enhance firm value and support transparency, accountability, and institutional quality in line with SDG 16.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of the Rivest–Shamir–Adleman (RSA) and Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) digital signature schemes in terms of key generation, signing, verification, and storage efficiency. The research supports the advancement of secure digital communication systems aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 and 16, which emphasize innovation, resilient digital infrastructure, and trustworthy institutions. Method: A quantitative experimental approach was employed on a Windows AMD64 platform using Python. Five cryptographic configurations were evaluated: RSA-2048, RSA-4096, ECDSA P-256, ECDSA P-384, and ECDSA P-521. Performance tests were conducted on payload sizes of 1 KB, 10 KB, and 100 KB. Each cryptographic operation, including key generation, signing, and verification, was repeated 100 times to ensure measurement consistency and reliability. Results: The findings indicate that ECDSA significantly outperforms RSA in several performance aspects. ECDSA P-256 reduced signature storage requirements by 72.3%, generated keys nearly 13,000 times faster than RSA-2048, and signed 10 KB payloads approximately 48 times faster. ECDSA P-384 also demonstrated strong performance while providing a higher security level. Although RSA-2048 remains suitable for legacy systems, its efficiency is lower than ECDSA-based alternatives. Novelty: This study provides a comprehensive comparative evaluation of multiple RSA and ECDSA variants across different payload sizes and operational metrics, offering practical recommendations for selecting digital signature algorithms. The results highlight ECDSA P-256 as the optimal choice for 128-bit security requirements and ECDSA P-384 for applications requiring stronger 192-bit security.
