| 8 | the DNS system in today's Internet but operates within the NDN architecture. Although the |
| 9 | design of NDNS was primarily driven by the desire to provide support for cryptographic key |

| 11 | number of other purposes during the development and deployment of the NDN architecture in |
| 12 | coming years. |
