About

An experimental peer-to-peer root naming system. Handshake is a decentralized, permissionless naming protocol where every peer is validating and in charge of managing the root DNS naming zone with the goal of creating an alternative to existing certificate authorities and naming systems. Names on the internet (top-level domains, social networking handles, etc.) ultimately rely upon centralized actors with full control over a system which is relied upon to be honest, as they are vulnerable to hacking, censorship, and corruption. Handshake aims to experiment with new ways the internet can be more secure, resilient, and socially useful with a peer-to-peer system validated by the network's participants. Handshake is an experiment that seeks to explore those new ways in which the necessary tools to build a more decentralized internet. Services on the internet have become more centralized beginning in the 1990s, but do not fulfill the original decentralized vision of the internet.

​PeeringDB is a freely available, user-maintained database of networks, serving as the go-to location for interconnection data. It facilitates the global interconnection of networks at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs), data centers, and other interconnection facilities, acting as the first stop in making interconnection decisions. It is a non-profit, community-driven initiative run and promoted by volunteers, aiming to support the continued development of the Internet. Users can search and update the PeeringDB database using the web interface or an API, allowing integration into proprietary tools. PeeringDB publishes peeringdb-py as a reference implementation of a local cache of PeeringDB data, encouraging users to utilize this or an equivalent to avoid API query limits. PeeringDB also offers a .KMZ formatted dataset of interconnection facilities for which it has coordinates.
