Hi Alexey,

Can you review this request by May 23rd?

I'm passing this one to you because you reviewed this applicant's four application/vnd.ipld.* requests last year.

thanks,
Amanda

Email: lidel@protocol.ai

Media type name: application

Media subtype name: vnd.ipfs.ipns-record

Required parameters: N/A

Optional parameters: N/A

Encoding considerations: binary

Security considerations: The media type inherits the security considerations for application/octet-stream,
contains no executable code.

When used in IPFS/IPNS context, it is strongly recommended verifying record integrity based on expected signature digest <https://specs.ipfs.tech/ipns/ipns-record/#record-verification>.

Interoperability considerations: N/A

Published specification: <https://specs.ipfs.tech/ipns/ipns-record/#record-serialization-format>

Applications which use this media: IPFS <https://ipfs.tech> uses signed IPNS records as means of introducing cryptographically-verifiable mutable pointers to immutable data <https://specs.ipfs.tech/ipns/ipns-record/>.

IPNS allows addressing dynamic content in a decentralized network with changing location and version. Signed IPNS records in IPFS enable secure, tamper-proof content-addressable applications and services with high resilience against censorship and data loss.

Fragment identifier considerations: N/A

Restrictions on usage: N/A

Provisional registration? (standards tree only): No

Additional information:

1. Deprecated alias names for this type: N/A
2. Magic number(s): N/A
3. File extension(s): ipns-record
4. Macintosh file type code: N/A
5. Object Identifiers: N/A

General Comments:

Person to contact for further information:

1. Name: Marcin Rataj
2. Email: lidel@protocol.ai

Intended usage: COMMON

IPNS records can be exchanged using a variety of transport mechanisms, including P2P, HTTP, or even sneakernet.
