-This crate provides two extension traits, `SslConnectorExt` and
-`SslAcceptorExt`, which augment the functionality provided by the [`boring` crate](https://github.com/cloudflare/boring).
-These extension traits provide the ability to connect a stream
-asynchronously and accept a socket asynchronously. Configuration of BoringSSL
-parameters is still done through the support in the [`boring` crate](https://github.com/cloudflare/boring).
+This library is an implementation of TLS streams using BoringSSL for
+negotiating the connection. Each TLS stream implements the `Read` and
+`Write` traits to interact and interoperate with the rest of the futures I/O
+ecosystem. Client connections initiated from this crate verify hostnames
+automatically and by default.
 
+`tokio-boring` exports this ability through [`accept`] and [`connect`]. `accept` should
+be used by servers, and `connect` by clients. These augment the functionality provided by the
+[`boring`] crate, on which this crate is built. Configuration of TLS parameters is still
+primarily done through the [`boring`] crate.
