This is a specification for a well-known [registry](https://www.iana.org/assignments/well-known-uris/) entry according to [RFC8615](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8615).
This resource identifier is used for the the verification of [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) relay contact information
(more specifically the [operatorurl](https://nusenu.github.io/ContactInfo-Information-Sharing-Specification/#operatorurl)).
This resource identifier can be used for serving and finding proofs related to [Tor](https://www.torproject.org/) relay contact information.
It can also be used for autodiscovery of Tor relays run by a given entity, if the entity domain is known.
It solves the issue that Tor relay contact information is an unidirectional and unverified claim by nature.
This well-known URI aims to allow the verification of the unidirectional claim.
