New Names for Old Things: Retronyms in Arabic Language

A Hybrid Algorithm for Matching Arabic Names

In this paper, a new hybrid algorithm which combines both of token-based and character-based approaches is presented. The basic Levenshtein approach has been extended to token-based distance metric. The distance metric is enhanced to set the proper granularity level behavior of the algorithm. It smoothly maps a threshold of misspellings differences at the character level, and the importance of ...

Arabic Script Internationalized Domain Names

Top-Level Arabic Domain Names

Internet domain names (i.e., web site addresses) are still written using English characters regardless of the worldwide spread of the Internet. Currently, domain names do not support other languages for one to locate resources on the Internet. Users in non-English speaking countries, such as the Arabs, are disadvantaged. Multilingual domain names have been the goal and activities of many not-fo...

Arabic Domain Names: Analysis & Solution

In this paper we presented technical study and security assessment that may threat the Arabic Domains in the new proposed multilingual domains (International domain Names IDN). We analyzed the Unicode Script (in particular the Arabic Scripts) and showed how vulnerable the proposed solution will be, then we presented suggestions for improved solution to be adapted to avoid future security risk w...
