Nodes will periodically ping a pre-defined Destination for a JSON document containing the infohash of a new binary update package using signed datagrams.

### Web Of Trust
Users may choose to "Trust" or "Blacklist" Destinations that return search results. This trust is local to the user, but it can be shared with others. Each user is assigned a perona which is returned together with search results and when displayed in the UI. For more information see the web-of-trust document.
