 For additional security, signature of OTA firmware images can be verified. For that, refer :ref:`secure-ota-updates`
 
+Advanced APIs
+-------------
+
+``esp_https_ota`` also provides advanced APIs which can be used if more information and control is needed during the OTA process.
+
+Example that uses advanced ESP_HTTPS_OTA APIs: :example:`system/ota/advanced_https_ota`.
+
+
+OTA Upgrades with Pre-Encrypted Firmware
+----------------------------------------
+
+To perform OTA upgrades with Pre-Encrypted Firmware, please enable :ref:`CONFIG_ESP_HTTPS_OTA_DECRYPT_CB` in component menuconfig.
