3.1.7.6 Publishing a Signature Record

To publish a signature record, a new record MUST be created as specified in section 3.1.7.2. If a signature record is already present in the graph database with its Deleted flag unset, the values from the previous signature record MUST replace those already assigned in the new record.

Moreover, the record fields MUST be set as follows:

  • The Modification Time MUST be set to the current peer time.

  • The Expiration Time MUST be set to the current peer time + 300 seconds.

  • The Record Type MUST be set to the GUID {00000200-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}.

  • The Record ID MUST be set to the GUID {4c515c94-4252-494f-8440-34cc79769c81}.

The signature record fields MUST be set as follows:

  • The Signature MUST be set to the local node ID.

  • The Autorefresh flag MUST be set.

If a signature record already exists in the database with its Deleted flag unset, the record MUST be updated using the newly created record, as specified in section 3.1.7.8. Otherwise, the new record MUST be published, as specified in section 3.1.7.3.
