A Framework for Authentication of Digital Quran

Increment of Internet users accessing content related to digital Quran and Hadith has increased from past few years. This has increased the need of Quran and Hadith authentication system that can authenticate between fake and original verses. In this work, complete framework related to automatic authentication and distribution of digital Quran and Hadith verses is proposed. Authentication process is divided into two phases, i.e., verification and security. For verification part, existing and standard exact matching algorithm, i.e., Boyer-Moore algorithm, is used. In case of security phase, watermarking technique will be used to secure the verified and tested verse. Furthermore, only verification phase of proposed framework is tested as system is still under development phase. For dealing with diacritics involved in Quranic text and Hadith text, segmentation is done based on clitics using UTF-16 encoding. On testing the proposed framework with comparison to popular search engines and other related existing works, our approach is 96.8% accurate in terms of full verse detection.
