قرآن کریم میں مذکور اسماءالنبیﷺکی تفہیم اور مطالعہ سیرت میں ان کی اہمیت Understanding the Names of the Prophet ﷺ mentioned in the Holy Quran and their importance in the study of Sirah

In the Qur'an, Allah mentioned His Beloved ﷺ in addition to his personal names, but also with different attribute names which, apart from his greatness and dignity, highlight different aspects of the life of the Prophet ﷺ. Along with increasing the love of the Prophetﷺ, these names cover various aspects of the Prophet's life, from which many jurisprudential issues can be derived in addition to his dawah life, private and political affairs. Therefore, your names are scattered in the Holy Quran like pearls, which the people of love wrap around their necks and live in the love of the Prophet ﷺ. In the article under review titled "Understanding the Names of the Prophet ﷺ in the Holy Quran and their Importance in Studying the Sirah" the personal and attribute names of the Holy Prophet ﷺ will be explained in the light of different interpretations and hadiths which will not only make it possible to understand the blessed name but will also shed light on various aspects of Seerat Tayyaba. Key words: Names of the Prophet ﷺ, Prophet's biography, personal names, attribute names, study of the Qur'an.

Privacy Protection in Collaborative Contents Sharing for Online Social Networks

The Online Social Network (OSN) facilitates users’ openness to a wider audience and social circles, which was not possible before its invention. However, this freedom of social expression and sharing of personal information may lead to violate the privacy of an individual and content. OSN has issue of privacy protection, which can be data about a user or the contents shared by user, especially in a group communication. The primaryobjectiveofthisresearchworkistoprotecttheprivacyofthecontentsthatare shared within the group. In general, OSN’s group communication can be divided into Open Group and Closed Group. In an Open Group, the contents are shared among the group members and further sharing is allowed. On the other hand, in Closed Group the contents are shared among the group members only. In Open Group, the problem withOSNisthatoncethecontentisshared,thedataownerorco-ownerhasnocontrol over its further distribution. Thus we provide a framework for collaborative content sharing which transfers the control of data dissemination from the service providers to data owner or co-owner. In the proposed framework, an Access Management Server (AMS)isintroducedasamiddlewaretointeractwiththeOSNserverandmanagesusers. The AMS encrypts the content before uploading to the OSN server and creates secret sharesoftheencryptionkeythatcanbeusedfortheauthorizationofaco-ownertothe content.

In Closed vii Group, the content is shared within the group members only, and no further sharing is allowed. Thegroupcommunicationcanbesecuredusingthecryptographictechniques, but group key management is a problem, especially in case of untrusted server. This work provides, a Scalable Group Key Management Protocol (SGKMP) to generate the shared group key and its procedure for modification in case a user leaves or joins the group. The key setup phase of the proposed protocol requires two rounds to complete it irrespective of group size, in contrast to the existing protocols that need n rounds to achieve it, where n is the total number of users in the group. Similarly, the protocol is scalable enough to update key by even a single group member without involving all groupmember
