(registered 2006-03-23, last updated 2020-05-04) Name: Alexis Tamas Email: alexis.tamas&op3ft.org Media type name: application Media subtype name: vnd.frogans.fnc Required parameters: N/A Optional parameters: N/A Encoding considerations: 8bit Security considerations: This media type represents XML documents called Frogans Network Certificates (FNC). These documents are specified in version 3.0 of the Frogans Network System Language (FNSL) technical specification (https://www.frogans.org/en/resources/fnsl/access.html). Given that FNSL documents are authenticated using digital signatures (to ensure secure access and use of Frogans networks), there are no security issues associated with this type. This media type represents no executable content and does not require integrity or confidentiality protection. Interoperability considerations: This type is interoperable on any system. Published specification: The specification of this type is included in version 3.0 of the Frogans Network System Language (FNSL) technical specification (https://www.frogans.org/en/resources/fnsl/access.html). Applications which use this media: - on the client side: some old versions of Frogans Player - on the server side: HTTP servers Fragment identifier considerations: N/A Restrictions on usage: N/A Additional information: 1. Deprecated alias names for this type: N/A 2. Magic number(s): N/A 3. File extension(s): .FNC 4. Macintosh file type code: N/A 5. Object Identifiers: N/A General Comments: Frogans is a medium for publishing content and services on the Internet. From its inception in 1999, the medium was designed as a generic software layer running on top of the original Internet infrastructure (i.e., the TCP and IP protocols and the Domain Name System (DNS)), alongside other existing layers such as E-mail or the World Wide Web. The Frogans Network System Language (FNSL) is an XML-based markup language that defines the Frogans address resolution process. The official Web site of the Frogans technology is https://www.frogans.org/ Person to contact for further information: 1. Name: Alexis Tamas 2. Email: alexis.tamas&op3ft.org Intended usage: Obsolete This type was used for the distribution of Frogans Network Certificate (FNC) documents on the Internet. It was registered in 2006 to work with version 3.0 of the Frogans Network System Language (FNSL) technical specification. But the use of a media type for the distribution of FNC documents on the Internet was determined to be unsatisfactory because using a media type from a Web page to launch another application did not always work, especially on mobile devices. As a result, this type is no longer used as of version 4.0 of the FNSL technical specification (https://www.frogans.org/en/resources/fnsl/access.html).
