+NDNS: Domain Name Service for Named Data Networking
+===================================================
+
+NDNS is a completely distributed database system that largely mimics the structure of the
+DNS system in today's Internet but operates within the NDN architecture. Although the
+design of NDNS was primarily driven with a desire to provide support for cryptographic key
+distribution and routing scalability management, we believe that NDNS can also serve a
+number of other purposes during the development and deployment of the NDN architecture in
+coming years.
