| | TUNES Migration Protocol |
 | | That protocol must work on any media and developed for use on any transfer mode, such as e-mail, floppies, and serial line transfer. |
 | | The protocol must have some way to express identity in a distributed space over time, so that requirements are non-ambiguous. |
 | | Because every medium has its own characteristics, the protocol should be modular and open, so that what signature method will be used to identify the message or its author, what error-detection and error-correction sub-protocol will be used, what compressed or depressed data encoding will be used, etc., can be independently varied. |
