 # wolfSSL Rust Wrapper
 
 The wolfSSL Rust wrapper currently consists of a single Rust crate named
-`wolfssl-wolfcrypt`. This crate provides wrappers for the cryptographic
-algorithms supported by wolfCrypt in the wolfSSL library.
+`wolfssl-wolfcrypt`.
+The `wolfssl-wolfcrypt` crate is a Rust wrapper for the wolfCrypt cryptographic
+algorithms portion of the wolfSSL C library.
 
-The `wolfssl-wolfcrypt` crate is intended to be published to
-[crates.io](https://crates.io/) and can be used by including it in your
-project's `Cargo.toml` file.
-
-It can also be built locally from within the wolfssl C library repository to
-test changes to the C library using the Rust API.
