IPNS names are self-certifying. This means that an IPNS record contains all the information necessary to certify its authenticity. IPNS achieves this using public and private key pairs:

  • Each IPNS name corresponds to a key pair
  • The IPNS name is a CID with a multihash of the public key
  • The IPNS record contains the public key and signature, allowing anyone to verify that the record was signed by the private key holder.
