By expanding application of digital content in the world of information technology, supervision and control over the data, and also preventing the copy of documents is considered. In this relation digital rights management systems are responsible for the secure distribution of digital content, and for this purpose the common functions in the field of cryptography and utilize Digital watermarking have used. On the other hand, the key management is very important in digital rights management systems, and methods such as Digital watermarking methods are not effective in preventing copying files and digital documents. In this paper, we have proposed a model to improve the performance of digital rights management systems. This method is based on multi-part encryption and control on documents publication. The main distinction of this approach with other methods employed is using Obfuscation techniques to protect the key generation algorithm against reverse engineering. Manuscript profile

Considering the expansion of the use of digital rights management systems, the use of methods such as encryption and encryption, although they have advantages, but they do not meet the requirements of the aforementioned systems responsible for the safe distribution of digital content. In this regard, the need for an alternative or hybrid method to protect digital content from the production stage to the transfer and storage of data in digital rights management systems is undeniable. In this paper, we have proposed a model to improve the performance of digital rights management systems, which is based on multi-part cryptography and not only monitors and controls the publication and distribution of documents, but also by using distinct and unique data in key generation. It also effectively prevents copying. The main difference between the proposed approach and other methods used in this field is the use of obfuscation technique in order to protect the key generation algorithm against reverse engineering attacks. The proposed system covers more security criteria compared to the existing systems in the field of digital rights management. Manuscript profile

The persistent and increasing concerns about the perseverance and raise of possibility of peaceful and fair coexistence in the infra-national, national and trans-national have all highlighted the significance of dialogue to a high extent. That is why the factors and fields influencing dialogue have become the topic of many researches and discussions. One of these factors is the communication-informative technologies which affects the differing aspects of social life more than ever. The topic of this article is the impact of communicative-informative technologies on the cross-cultural dialogues within the general electronic sphere. In this framework it will become clear that although the possibility and potential of communication and transaction about information increases the potential for dialogue, it also causes its own certain limitations and distortions too. The mentioned limitation is basically the result of the uneven division of related possibilities regarding this kind of technology, while the particular circumstance of the general electronic domain distorts the cross-cultural dialogues.

Today, ICT is considered as one of the most important indicators of development and plays a key role in the transformation of societies. Therefore, spatial analysis of this index is one of the basic necessities to understand the geographical changes of societies that must be carefully examined. The purpose of this article, which is applied in terms of research, is to investigate the use of ICT indicators in the cities of Khuzestan province according to the extent to which they have development indicators. The technique of collecting statistics and information in this article is using documentary and library methods and studying the official publications of the country. The statistical population of the study is 24 cities of Khuzestan province and the indicators studied in this research are 18 information technology indicators and also 31 indicators to determine the levels of their development. In this study, due to development inequalities between the cities of the province, first the cities were divided into three groups based on the indicators of development: privileged, semi-privileged and deprived. To determine the amount of digital divide between cities in each group based on the degree of ICT indicators, the PROMTEHEE technique was used. The AHP method was used to weight the indicators used in the grading. The research results show that Ahvaz and Haftkol counties have the highest and lowest levels of development indicators, respectively, and Izeh, Shadegan and Indika counties have the highest counties and Abadan, Ramhormoz and Bavi counties are the most deprived in terms of ICT indicators among other counties.

Abstract: In this study, we have classified digital data into three groups to precisely investigate digital data value and ownership: (1) Digital data with foreign likeness. Cyberspace is an environment for intellectual property such as computer software that are available as digital data. (2) Big data that is naturally realizable outside the network but is available in cyberspace since it is large in volume and time-consuming for external handling. (3) Data such as domain and web hosting that are instruments for cyberspace and there is no foreign likeness for them and they have been created according to the requirements of the cyberspace. The value of the digital data is determined by the data’s economic value on one hand, and on the other hand, by inference to the types of properties in Fiqh and Islamic law. Ownership, too, in the context of full claim on digital data is acceptable due to the advantage of possessing it. In this study, we have studied each category under a certain legal system with respect to the characteristics of each category and qualities of properties according to Fiqh and Islamic law: The first and second groups – as intellectual rights – are placed under the principle of intellectual property and its rules of ownership. Cyberspace instruments shall be considered as the infrastructures such as hardware and the resulting benefits as well as ownership of such data will be investigated under civil property system.

This paper examines the concept of digital divide at the global level and within the countries level. To this end, we have been studying and analyzing research on digital divide in different countries and using international statistics. The research results show that the digital divide is a broad, complex, multidimensional concept and beyond physical access to communication technologies. The digital divide,which is posed in two spheres,first international and among different countries and within the countries , can occur at four levels of access gap, gap of use and motivation, knowledge gap, and production gap. The lack of physical access to an ICT area creates an access gap between people in that area and other areas. The use and motivation gap occurs when, despite the availability of computers and the Internet, many of the population groups do not use these facilities due to lack of motivation and sufficient income. The gap in knowledge lies in the level of technological literacy and the ability to access appropriate online content and services. The manufacturing gap explains that, despite being interactive and participating in the content of new technologies, it remains far between the number of content producers and consumers. Also, the digital divide is a dynamic phenomenon, so that when the digital divide fills up at one level,at the other level, another gap is created. At the end of the study, a model is proposed for the study of the digital divide levels and the variables involved in it. Manuscript profile

Directional protection is a crucial function in advanced transmission network relays. In this paper, a novel directional algorithm for transmission line protection is presented. Proposed algorithm responds to all kind of faults accurately without any dead zone. In this scheme, discrimination between internal and external faults will be done precisely even for close relay faults. The proposed algorithm utilizes a close form equation achieved by least squares optimization. Directional protection function is carried out based on proposed algorithm under various conditions such as current transformer saturation, power swing and source capacity changes. Moreover, variation on some parameters such as fault inception and fault resistance has only negligible effects on algorithm performance. Due to employing of low sampling frequency, hardware implementation of the proposed algorithm is not complicated. Algorithm performance is evaluated by applying the field data from Manesht 230kV substation located at Ilam province as well as extracted data form EMTP-RV simulations. Simulation results verify the speed and reliability of the proposed algorithm. Manuscript profile

This paper introduces a new sensorless rotor position detection technique with the mechanical load asymmetric error determines ability for switched reluctance motor drives. In presented paper combination of pulse injection technique and digital pulse position modulation are employed for control of SR motor. In this method, a single high-frequency pulse is injected in an idle phase to determine the rotor position and estimates the rotor position through analysis of the resultant current after voltage pulse injection. Since the number of injected pulses is constant, in terms of the proper functioning of the motor, output bit stream has a fixed length and is proportional to the mechanical load torque. In the event of mechanical failure as a result of fluctuations in the mechanical load, the number of bits according to the error rate will change, which counts the number of output bits detection circuit , errors in mechanical load is determined. Proposed method decrease the injuries caused by asymmetry error in mechanical load connected to the motor shaft. The proposed sensorless method has been simulated using Matlab-Simulink and implemented on an experimental setup in real time to validate its performance. The results obtained demonstrate the feasibility and practicability of the method. Manuscript profile

As an influential basis of development worldwide, especially economic development, tourism currently lies at the center of the world governments’ main policies in job creation, entrepreneurship, and promoting sustainable businesses. On the other hand, by naming the year 2018 as “Tourism and Digital Revolution', the World Tourism Organization clearly indicates the significance of the digital revolution and its influence on the sustainable growth of the tourism industry. Considering the influence of the digital revolution on all aspects of human life, including travel and tourism, businesses and organizations involved in tourism have no other choice but to adapt themselves to the current dynamic and ever-changing environment. Therefore, this applied descriptive-survey research sought to examine the effects of the digital revolution on tourism businesses using a quantitative approach. The population of the study comprised the staff of tourism businesses working in Tehran city, among whom 385 people were selected via random sampling. The required data were collected through a questionnaire administered to the participants of the study, which were then analyzed using the SPSS24 and Smart-PLS2 software. The study’s findings indicated that the rate of digital revolution status was above average in terms of all the indices included in the study’s conceptual model. Moreover, the overall role of the digital revolution in tourism businesses was assessed using a single sample T-test. Accordingly, the average rate of most of the twenty-five indices investigated in the study was found to be greater than 4, indicating the influence of the digital revolution on all aspects of tourism organizations which may bring about some changes in tourism businesses. On the other hand, Friedman's variance analysis test revealed a significant difference between the mean ranks of digital revolution components in tourism, with its greatest influence being on human resources training and development. Therefore, it seems necessary to invest in employing and training human resources that can deal with such developments. Manuscript profile

This article surveys the fundamental value of digital platforms, such as Instagram and Google. Despite the commutable nature of digital technologies, it is challenging to value digital services, given that the usage is free of charge. Applying the methodology of discrete choice experiments, we estimated the value of digital free goods. For the first time in the literature, we obtained data for the willingness-to-pay and willingness-to-accept, together with socio-economic variables. The customer’s valuation of free digital services is on average, for Google, 4.9m Rial per week and Instagram, 3.27. This paper corroborates that Instagram and Google have an intrinsic value to users, despite the fact that the service of the digital platforms is free of charge. This is the beginning of the valuation of free services such as Shad, Rubika, Zarebeen, etc. in Iran, which has played a significant role in the communication industry since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and in the discussion of the national information network, the market value of the provider companies will be very important.

In the digital era, the Internet of Everything (IoE) technology has rapidly become a cornerstone of technological and economic development. Malaysia, as one of the leading and developing countries in Southeast Asia, has examined its preparedness, opportunities, and challenges for adopting and developing this technology through the formulation of its IoT roadmap. Undoubtedly, the IoT roadmap in Malaysia is one of the most comprehensive documents in the study of macro-level Internet of Everything plans. This roadmap provides an analysis of Malaysia's current and future position in the IoT domain, including infrastructure, data and information, security, ecosystem, and talent, followed by a gap analysis. Studies show that the adoption of the next generation of information and communication technology in Malaysia has paved the way for the development of the IoE, outlined opportunities for economic innovation, and facilitated the commercialization of research outcomes by research organizations. The roadmap also emphasizes the importance of balancing development and security in this field, stating that with progress in this domain, Malaysia can emerge as a top hub and regional focal point for IoE development. The younger generation in Malaysia is highly interested in IoE, and they are not only consumers but also creative developers of this technology. This paper highlights Malaysia's recognition as a global pioneer in the IoE technology sector. The country has become a frontrunner in this field through advancements in infrastructure, increased domestic sales and exports, the development of services and platforms, emphasis on innovation, the importance of human resources, and, most importantly, the formulation of a comprehensive and complete IoT roadmap. Malaysia has benefited in two major ways: by deriving new value from technological innovation and gaining a competitive advantage and market share over governments unable to adapt and invest in the IoE market Manuscript profile

The Internet of Everything constitutes a comprehensive framework of connections, processes, and principles interlinked within a unified ecosystem. Within this framework, at a higher level, connections have broadened, and more importantly, these connections are comprehended. The present article delves into assessing the status of this innovative technology in two neighboring countries. This study serves as an excellent example for decision-makers and leaders to propel Iran towards a higher level of sustainable development. Meanwhile, Dubai, one of the seven Emirates of the United Arab Emirates, by installing smart infrastructures, employing the unified DubaiNow application for all services (governmental and urban), and establishing a smart city, stands as the sole country among its neighbors to have successfully executed the Internet of Everything. The Internet of Everything has transformed Dubai into a significant economic hub in the region and globally. Conversely, although the Internet of Everything technology has not yet proliferated in Turkey, the foundations, technology, and key concepts have been well-established in the country. This technology, with its specific capabilities across various domains, from smart agriculture and livestock farming to urban traffic management, smart airports, and asset monitoring, has facilitated substantial improvements in infrastructures and services provided in Turkey. The examination results indicate that the orientations of these two countries toward achieving the prospects of this significant transformation have led to increased revenues, reduced operational costs, heightened productivity across various sectors, and positioning them on the path of sustainable development.

Despite the emphasis of researchers and experts on the need to implement digital signatures and the progress of technology towards the digitization of all affairs and electronic governance, Iran is still facing the challenge of implementing digital signatures. The purpose of this article is to identify and analyze the key drivers of digital signature implementation in Iran with a fuzzy Delphi approach. In terms of practical purpose and in terms of information gathering, the research has benefited from a hybrid approach. The statistical community consists of all experts and specialists in the field of information technology and digital signature and articles in this field. The sample size of the statistical community of experts is 13 people who were selected by the purposeful sampling method. 31 articles were selected based on their availability and downloadable, non-technical nature, and relevance to the topic. The method of data analysis was done according to the fuzzy Delphi approach. Validity and reliability were calculated and confirmed using the CVR index and Cohen's kappa test with coefficients of 0.83 and 0.93, respectively. The results prove that the key drivers of digital signature implementation in Iran include 5 main dimensions and 30 concepts, which are 1) security (information confidentiality, information security, sender authentication, document authentication, privacy protection, trust between parties), 2) business (digital business models, communication needs, staff management, organization size, organizational structure, organization resources, organizational culture, top managers, competition ecosystem, e-governance), 3) user (perceived convenience, perceived benefit, consumer behavior, consumer literacy, consumer lifestyle), 4) technical (development of technical infrastructure, systems integration, system complexity, system tanks, design quality, technical speed of certificate production and verification, impermeability of hackers) and 5) Legal (legal licenses, penal laws, legislative body, e-commerce laws). It is suggested that in the field of digital signature implementation, special attention should be paid to rewriting rules, training users, creating a security culture, and digital signature policymakers should invite knowledge-based companies to cooperate in developing infrastructure and making relevant software competitive.
