 ZeroTier Secure Socket Protocol
 ======
-
-**NOTE: this protocol and code have not yet been formally audited and should not be used in anything production.**
-
-ZSSP (ZeroTier Secure Socket Protocol) is an implementation of the Noise_IK pattern using FIPS/NIST compliant primitives. After Noise_IK negotiation is complete ZSSP also adds key ratcheting and optional (enabled by default) support for quantum data forward secrecy with Kyber1024.
-
-It's general purpose and could be used with any system but contains a few specific design choices to make it optimal for ZeroTier and easy to distinguish from legacy ZeroTier V1 traffic for backward compatibility.
