Abstract
This research aims to investigate and enhance the underlying infrastructure for implementing general authentication in the Drayeh al-Noor software. Specifically, this paper examines the pivotal role of modern information technologies in verifying and correcting the teacher-student relationship, a fundamental infrastructure for certain general authentication rules. Given that the Drayeh al-Noor software has so far focused on verifying the apparent relationship between the narrator and the narrated, and has encountered challenges such as fabrication, excess, omission, and doubts regarding the actual teacher-student relationship, purifying and correcting these relationships is of paramount importance. Employing a descriptive-analytical method, this paper examines the existing infrastructure within the software and offers suggestions for improving and completing the process of verifying the teacher-student relationship using modern information technologies. Due to its emphasis on the role of these technologies in preparing the infrastructure for implementing general authentication, this research can serve as a practical guide for scholars of Rijal to enhance the processes of jarh and ta'dil and improve the accuracy of hadith authentication.
