+ <longdescription>
+ The hackage security library provides both server and
+ client utilities for securing the Hackage package server
+ (&lt;http://hackage.haskell.org/&gt;). It is based on The Update
+ Framework (&lt;http://theupdateframework.com/&gt;), a set of
+ recommendations developed by security researchers at
+ various universities in the US as well as developers on the
+ Tor project (&lt;https://www.torproject.org/&gt;).
+
+ The current implementation supports only index signing,
+ thereby enabling untrusted mirrors. It does not yet provide
+ facilities for author package signing.
+
+ The library has two main entry points:
+ "Hackage.Security.Client" is the main entry point for
+ clients (the typical example being @cabal@), and
+ "Hackage.Security.Server" is the main entry point for
+ servers (the typical example being @hackage-server@).
+
+ This is a beta release.
