+Security statement
+------------------
+
+In august 2000, we discovered the existence of a security hole in all
+versions of tinc up to and including 1.0pre2. This had to do with the
+way we exchanged keys. Since then, we have been working on a new
+authentication scheme to make tinc as secure as possible. The current
+version uses the OpenSSL library and does authentication in much the
+same way as the SSH protocol does.
+
+Cryptography is a hard thing to get right. We cannot make any
+guarantees. Time, review and feedback are the only things that can
+prove the security of any cryptographic product. If you wish to review
+tinc or give us feedback, you are stronly encouraged to do so.
