Pages 1-6

Elham Karimi, Reza Hasazadeh

Abstract E-commerce is one of the advanced dimensions of the development of communication and information technology in the social, political and economic fields. The results of studies of the actions of developed countries in this field focus on the fact that managerial and citizenship behaviors and interactions between elements of society in this phenomenon do not follow its traditional state. Also, policymakers and managers consider e-commerce not as a goal but as a tool to benefit from new methods of interaction between influential elements of society in creating purposeful, fast and flexible governance tailored to the dynamic needs of citizens. This article first describes the concept of e-commerce and mentions the important points about the challenges and prospects ahead. In the following, the appropriate infrastructure for the use of this technology is expressed and then, according to the literature and the available evidence, the challenges and opportunities facing the implementation of this technology are discussed and finally, according to the aggregate information, practical suggestions for the successful implementation of this technology in the Iran have been presented.

Service Quality Challenges and Indicators in Internet of Things Applications

Service Quality Challenges and Indicators in Internet of Things Applications

Pages 1-6

mahdi Nasirian, Reza Hoseini

Abstract In recent years, organizations have faced various challenges such as increasing competition in operational areas. In recent years, we have encountered an emerging phenomenon called Internet of Things technology, whose wide applications have been investigated in industries, trade, smart services, healthcare, etc., however, the qualitative aspects of the problem remains unknown. It is expected that services based on the Internet of Things will increase the quality level of such services, in addition to reducing costs. However, the multiplicity of protocols, the amount of sending packets in the network, the sensitivity of packets to delay and data loss, etc., have various levels of service quality and have different evaluation indicators that require deep analysis and investigation. The purpose of this research is to identify and prioritize the technological applications of the Internet of Things and related service quality management by using the structural interpretation approach and examining the required indicators in this regard. The results of this study can be used in the development of models and frameworks to improve service quality management in the Internet of Things network.

Threats and Approaches for Security in e-commerce services

Pages 7-13

Ali Mohammadpoor

Abstract Today, e-commerce has become a way of doing business in the modern world. Basically, e-commerce can not grow enough without security. To achieve a dynamic e-commerce, we must implement security in it within the framework of principles, so that we can use it as a sustainable sample of business. Security issues, unauthorized users, viruses and the like are terrifying for companies at any level of internet connection. Most companies focus on their hardware and software to deal with these problems. Understanding security threats and risks, especially the dangers of e-commerce, can be a great help in designing and building a secure infrastructure. This article discusses various ways to reduce security threats, especially in cases where the greatest threat is posed by unauthorized users, viruses and other forms of network intrusion; Finally, security approaches, recommendations and solutions to deal with these threats are provided.

Maryam Nemati, Nafiseh Fareghzadeh

Abstract Recently, the distributed internet applications under the scalable networks are growing rapidly, so the need to protect and secure such applications has also increased. Encryption algorithms are vital in today's cyber world, where there is always the risk of unauthorized access to all types of data. The most sensitive and vulnerable data is financial and payment system data, which can compromise personal identification information or customer payment card details and other personal information. Cryptographic algorithms are critical to protecting this information and reducing the risks that business face in conducting payment transactions. In fact, cryptographic algorithms play a major role in the information security of systems and the production of digital signatures. Existing digital signatures are often based on cryptographic algorithms and lead to the recognition of electronic information so that the identity of the author of the document and the comprehensiveness of its information can be reviewed and controlled. In this article, in addition to defining and classifying common cryptographic algorithms, we try to make a comparison on power and effectiveness of applicable algorithms in this area. This review and comparison can lead to improved functions and improved approaches to using these algorithms.

Abstract Nowadays, paying attention to the special position of educational systems in the technology-oriented world and their role in social changes and especially recent technological developments has caused comparative education in many countries to become one of the most dynamic scientific fields that politicians, scientists in the fields of Various humanities and practitioners and educational planners will be transformed. The knowledge of comparative education in most countries today is a comprehensive and extensive knowledge and it is one of the branches of education knowledge that studies the different education systems of countries, the similarities and differences between the factors of these education systems. to compare and compare existing ones to the degree of evolution. Comparative education refers to knowledge whose subject is identifying, analyzing and comparing the similarities and differences of the educational phenomenon within an educational system or between the education systems of different countries in the world according to social, religious, economic and Political is effective in their formation and emergence. Comparative education is a new name for a new science that has entered the ranks of independent human education today, but like other branches of science, it has a very old and ancient history. The evolution of the world's educational systems shows that in order to realize this, most of the leading countries have benefited from comparative studies and researches in the field of education and they mention it as a necessary condition for the design of their modern educational systems and the necessity of such studies Before taking any comprehensive educational reforms, they emphasize to meet their growing economic, cultural and technical needs. The purpose of this research is to present the approach of developing comparative education in Iran based on technological perspectives.
