 =============
 
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/aprilabank/alcoholic_jwt.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/aprilabank/alcoholic_jwt)

 This is a library for **validation** of **RS256** JWTs using keys from
 a JWKS. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
+RS256 is the most commonly used asymmetric signature mechanism for
+JWTs, encountered in for example [Google][]'s or [Aprila][]'s APIs.
+
 The name of the library stems from the potential side-effects of
 trying to use the other Rust libraries that are made for similar
 purposes.

 do the work. Cryptographic operations are provided by the `openssl`
 crate, JSON-serialisation is provided by `serde_json`.
